A BRIEF HISTORY OF WILLIAMS AVENUE

Formerly known as the “Black Broadway,” Williams Avenue was once home to Portland’s vibrant Black community for a majority of the 20th century. During the 40’s and 50’s, nightclubs clustered around Williams Ave. became the epicenter of the city’s live jazz scene, drawing some of the biggest names in jazz, including Duke Ellington, Wardell Gray, and Oscar Peterson. While the neighborhood has changed drastically in the last few decades, the history of Williams Ave. lives on through a series of art installations between NE Broadway and N Killingsworth that represent the history and values of Black Portland. To learn more about the history of Williams Avenue, be sure to check out the Historic Black Williams Project.
