The Legacy of Harriet Johnston, Black Pioneer
Jacksonville became one of the first places in Oregon with a Black community. Made up of mostly single men - miners, barbers, and blacksmiths - Harriet Johnston was the exception. She came to Jacksonville in the early 1860s with a family to raise. The fascinating saga of her spunk and endurance has permeated the generations of her family. She and a few of her descendants are buried in the Catholic section of the Jacksonville Cemetery. Presented by Jan Wright, Southern Oregon Historical Society archivist. The monthly Windows in Time lunchtime lectures feature well-known writers and historians and bring alive the people, values, and events that shaped our southern Oregon heritage. Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS) and Jackson County Library Services.
