Black people have been oppressed for centuries. Enslaved, tortured, and exiled, and yet they still persevere.

Weather has been a part of human history since before humans could use tools, and while we associate things like tornados with the Midwest and hurricanes with Florida, Oregon has seen it's fair share of devastation.

Oregon, as well as the rest of the United States, has been through an interesting period where a man could kill another man whom they believed to be a lecherous homewrecker and often got away with it.
