Redlining & Portland’s Jewish Community

Redlining and Portland’s Jewish Community with David Freidenreich Jews, like members of Portland’s Black, Irish, Italian, and Polish communities, were systematically marginalized by the city’s Yankee elites during the first half of the 20th century. The strategies that Jews used to overcome that discrimination, however, often differed from those favored within other marginalized communities. The legacy of these efforts remains visible to this day.
