Much has come to light in the last decade regarding Portland's treatment of the Black community when it comes to displacement and planned gentrification in the city's Black neighborhoods. In this documentary series, the team behind the podcast "Our Fires" aims to humanize the struggles of Portland's Black citizens through the telling of personal histories. Three Portlanders; OB Hill, Donna Maxey and Cleo Davis, from three generations, recall their families' stories that journey through nearly a century of discriminatory city planning that has uprooted entire neighborhoods.
