Oregon's Black History Keepers: 2000s

After a career at SAIF, Salem resident Gwen Carr joined the Board of Directors of Oregon Black Pioneers in 2004. Alongside Willie Richardson and Kimberly Moreland, Gwen spent years researching and presenting stories of Oregon’s Black history through exhibits, talks, and historical markers. Gwen was the project manager for the 2007 book Perseverance, documenting the Black history of Marion and Polk counties. Today, she is the Director of the Bush House Museum in Salem.

In honor of the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, we're highlighting a century of Black history keepers here in Oregon. Without them, so many stories would be lost. We honor and appreciate their essential work this month, and all year round.

Métis Minute Lake Labish
Lake Labish was a significant large lake in the center of the Willamette Valley to the north of Salem, Oregon. The lake was very long extending across the valley from east to west in the drainage of the Pudding River. There were numerous branches of the lake that extended along creeks as wetlands and marshes. Lake Labish was named by French-Canadian (Metis) fur traders, after seeing and hunting numerous deer there in the early part of the 19th century. La Biche means a female deer or doe in the French language.
