Mims, Willie2006-06-142006-06-142006https://hdl.handle.net/1794/28587 minute, 39 second audio file.The story of Tent City is one of harsh treatment of African Americans who were migrating to Eugene, Oregon in the 1940s. It is a story of descrimination and racism in the West where these issues were not as visible as they were in the South. It is a story of a settlement built of scrap lumber on the muddy floodplain of the Willamette River, held together by a stong sense of community and a faith in a better future. Listen to the story of Willie Mims as he recounts his childhood life in the the settlement where Alton Baker Park sits today.7359971 bytesapplication/x-filemakeren-USRecording, oral
