Historical Note
The Skanner newspaper serves the African-American community in
Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. Bernie Foster founded the newspaper
in 1975 and continues to serve as its publisher. His wife, Bobbie Dore Foster,
began her work as editor in the 1980s. The paper played a significant role in
the campaign to change Union Avenue's name to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
in the 1990s. Each January, it pays tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and
releases a special Black History edition each February. Other annual special
editions include a Career Guide in May, and the Minority Business Enterprise
and Fire Prevention Week issues in October.
From 1990 to 2014, the Skanner published separate Portland and Seattle
editions, but began to publish a single edition serving the Pacific Northwest
in 2014. The Skanner News Group also includes the non-profit organization The
Skanner Foundation, which provides scholarships and technological training.
The photographs in this collection primarily relate to people and
events in the African-American community in the Pacific Northwest, although
some pertain to national and international events. Photographers represented
include Susan Fried, Dean Guernsey, Julie Keefe and Monica Uhr. Individuals
represented in this collection include Dick Bogle, Alcena Boozer, JoAnn Bowman,
Margaret Carter, Bill Clinton, Mercedes Deiz, Bernie and Bobbie Dore Foster,
Avel Gordly, Michael ("Chappie") Grice, Ron Herndon, Benjamin Hooks, Tony
Hopson, Bill and Gladys McCoy, Charles Moose, Darryl Tukufu, and multiple
Portland mayors, Oregon governors and members of US Congress. Community
organizations and events depicted include the Urban League of Portland, the
1978 National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
convention held in Portland, Self Enhancement, Inc. (SEI) and the Urban League
of Portland. Included also are photographs of parades, religious institutions
and officials, businesses, schools, and a large number of promotional
photographs relating to sports and entertainment. A sizable portion of the
collection consists of photographs relating to the Skanner News Group itself,
such as their 15th anniversary celebration in 1990 and their annual Martin
Luther King, Jr. Prayer Breakfast.
The collection has been arranged in the following series:
