I just looked through the entire book and it left me feeling disappointed and irritated. A better title for this collection of photos would be "White Portland Memories" since it completely ignores the substantial Japanese American, Chinese and African American population and their contributions to early Portland. Shame on the publisher, OREGONLIVE, for perpetuating old stereotypes where only white people were considered worth mentioning.
