The Portland Black Panthers: Empowering Albina and Remaking a CityPortland, Oregon, though widely regarded as a liberal bastion, also has struggled historically with ethnic diversity; indeed, the 2010 census found it to be "America's whitest major city." In early recognition of such disparate realities, a group of African American activists in the 1960s formed a local branch of the Black Panther Party in the city's Albina District to rally their community and be heard by city leaders.

Portland, Oregon, though widely regarded as a liberal bastion, also has struggled historically with ethnic diversity; indeed, the 2010 census found it to be "America's whitest major city." In early recognition of such disparate realities, a group of African American activists in the 1960s formed a local branch of the Black Panther Party in the city's Albina District to rally their community and be heard by city leaders. And as Lucas Burke and Judson Jeffries reveal, the Portland branch was quite different from the more famous--and infamous--Oakland headquarters. Instead of parading through the streets wearing black berets and ammunition belts, Portland's Panthers were more concerned with opening a health clinic and starting free breakfast programs for neighborhood kids. Though the group had been squeezed out of local politics by the early 1980s, its legacy lives on through the various activist groups in Portland that are still fighting many of the same battles.

Combining histories of the city and its African American community with interviews with former Portland Panthers and other key players, this long-overdue account adds complexity to our understanding of the protracted civil rights movement throughout the Pacific Northwest.

wrong fit - small and doesn't match original - doesn't meet description
Size: 36W x 29L, Color: Black
DKNY must watch who produces their brand. Have a few pairs and they are made in Bangladesh and fit amazing. Just ordered this pair and it's not even close to how it should fit. Very small and waist band doesn't stretch at all and made in China.

Comfortable, stylish, and great for work or casual wear
Size: 36W x 32L, Color: Black
These DKNY slim fit chinos are a great balance between comfort and style. The stretch material makes a big difference — they move well throughout the day and don’t feel restrictive like some other slim fit pants. The fit is modern and clean without being too tight, which makes them easy to wear for both work and more casual settings. They look polished enough for the office but still comfortable enough for everyday use. The fabric feels good quality and has held up well so far. They don’t wrinkle too easily and keep their shape after wearing them for a full day. The 5-pocket design is also a nice touch, adding a bit of versatility compared to more traditional dress pants. If I had to mention one minor thing, it would be that sizing can feel slightly snug depending on preference, so if you’re between sizes you might want to consider sizing up. Overall, really solid pair of chinos — comfortable, versatile, and good quality for the price.

Excellent value for the quality and fit.
Size: 34W x 29L, Color: Khaki
Love these pants. So much that after wearing the light khaki pair a few time I bout a navy blue pair. I'm 5"5" and finding 29" inseam pants is a challenge, these fit perfectly and my flat butt isn't saggy baggy with the slim fit. They are NOT Skinny in the legs. The material is smooth as silk and I didn't need to iron them after washing. You would pay much more for anything close in a department store. The stretch is great, I can go without a belt confidant they won't fall down.
