SUMMARY:Justice Delayed\, Finally Gained: EDPA2 Update
DESCRIPTION:Justice Delayed\, Finally Gained: How Portland Families Displaced by Urban Renewal Won Restitution \nMs. Byrd\, the founder of Emanuel Displaced Persons Association 2 (EDPA2)\, with whom our congregation has been long connected\, returns to recap and update the efforts that led to their remarkable settlement with the City of Portland last year. Under Byrd’s determined and creative leadership\, EDPA2 persisted for many years as an ad hoc\, community-based social justice organization made up of people whose family homes and businesses had been demolished in the 1970s to make way for a hospital expansion that never happened. Byrd dedicated almost ten years of her life to advocating and agitating for justice\, for restitution. It was Byrd’s scholarship\, study\, research and persistence that led to the filing of a lawsuit that resulted in an unprecedented settlement. Don’t miss this uplifting story about a successful struggle to achieve redress that took more than 50 years. \nClick here to view the flyer.
