Happy Publication Day to Alan Wieder!
"We Will Not Be Removed: The People of King School Park" is now available from your favorite booksellers and directly from OSU Press.
“This is the story of a Portland park and a community that refuses to be 'removed.' In spite of being displaced, this community survives. Birthdays are celebrated, tragedy is commemorated, and, most important, people who grew up in the neighborhood, as well as their offspring, connect in the park each day. I’ve been privileged to try to capture their spirit through pictures for almost five years. Individuals have welcomed me into their lives.” —Alan Wieder, from the Introduction
