Recently in a class at PSU, we studied two reports put out by the Urban league of Portland and the Coalition for Communities of color.  These reports basically describe the shocking state of people of color in the State of Oregon and in Multnomah county.  Housing, criminal justice, heatlh, and education are all covered and full of statistics. I think a show on this topic would be interesting, especially because it looks pretty bleak right now for communities of color in Oregon.  Here are the links to the reports.
