[Editor's Note: The following article is part of BlackOut: A Five-Year Retrospective on Portland’s Racial Justice Movement, a joint publication from Donovan Scribes and the Portland Mercury. Written exclusively by Black Portlanders, the purpose of BlackOut is to remember and reflect on the May 25, 2020 murder of George Floyd at the hands of police, and the 100+ days of protests in Portland that same year.
We all can see with our own eyes that Portland’s motto, “The City That Works,” rings hollow. Our current dysfunction is rooted in an outdated government structure—the “commission” form wherein each member of city council directly oversees different bureaus and services—that has not been changed in over 100 years.
