Salem's Black
History: Mark Hatfield, who would later become Senator Mark Hatfield, had
to drive famous singers Paul Robeson and Marion Anderson up to Portland because
they were refused a hotel room in Salem because of their skin color.
Senator Hatfield never forgot this and helped to pass laws that banned
discrimination in all public places in Oregon.
