The Portland Black Panthers: Empowering Albina and Remaking a CityPortland, Oregon, though widely regarded as a liberal bastion, also has struggled historically with ethnic diversity; indeed, the 2010 census found it to be "America's whitest major city." In early recognition of such disparate realities, a group of African American activists in the 1960s formed a local branch of the Black Panther Party in the city's Albina District to rally their community and be heard by city leaders.

Portland, Oregon, though widely regarded as a liberal bastion, also has struggled historically with ethnic diversity; indeed, the 2010 census found it to be "America's whitest major city." In early recognition of such disparate realities, a group of African American activists in the 1960s formed a local branch of the Black Panther Party in the city's Albina District to rally their community and be heard by city leaders. And as Lucas Burke and Judson Jeffries reveal, the Portland branch was quite different from the more famous--and infamous--Oakland headquarters. Instead of parading through the streets wearing black berets and ammunition belts, Portland's Panthers were more concerned with opening a health clinic and starting free breakfast programs for neighborhood kids. Though the group had been squeezed out of local politics by the early 1980s, its legacy lives on through the various activist groups in Portland that are still fighting many of the same battles.

Combining histories of the city and its African American community with interviews with former Portland Panthers and other key players, this long-overdue account adds complexity to our understanding of the protracted civil rights movement throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Pretty good wipes
These wipes are great and I love that each pack has it's own lid. These are medium thickness (not as thick as Huggies, but not as thin as some store brands) and do a good job cleaning my baby's behind. We typically need 1-2 wipes for #2's depending on how far up her back it travels lol. I got these at a great price and am very happy with them.

Sturdy and Effective
The inside of a diaper bag is not a gentle place, so anything I put in there needs to be sturdy enough to handle the bumping, shoving, and crushing. The pouches are not rigid, so they can fold, but are thick enough not to tear. The lid opens and closes smoothly and I have not had any of them wear out or stop staying closed before the wipes run out. The wipes have a pleasant scent and feel clean. The wipes are the right thickness for most jobs, but are not what I would call 'thick' wipes nor are they 'thin'. The oils and chemicals used are gentle enough for older babies while still getting them clean, but I would recommend something more gentle for newborns. The four pack was a great value (12 pouches total) and I would recommend it to any fellow parents of infants or toddlers.

Loyal to pampers
Size: 504 Count (Pack of 1)
We are big fans of pampers! I love being able to buy them on Amazon at a lower price. I love the ease of the individual packaging as well as the fact that there is not disgusting smell to these wipes. Even the 'non scented' wipes tend to have an odd smell with other brands. These are very soft and do not feel as if they would irritate babies bottoms.

Love these wipes! Great price!
Size: 504 Count (Pack of 1)
I love pampers for my son! We love the scent and ability to clean. I'm not sure why some customers gave these lower stars because they don't have individual dispensers. We use these to refill ours (I believe that's what they're for). If you read the description - this product never claimed to have them.

Really soft yet tears easily
Size: 504 Count (Pack of 1)
These wipes lasted awhile. They had a good scent to them and cleaned very well. The only thing that drove me crazy was when getting the wipes out of the package, they tore a lot. I would end up with pieces of a sheet and I ended up using more that necessary because of this. I would still buy these if they were on sale. I have 3 children as well as babysit for parents that don't bring me diapers and wipes. I coupon for diapers and wipes and normally quality is pretty consistent in comparison. These wipes are much softer than one particular brand yet the other brand has a thick, cloth-like wipe that rarely tears. I would still recommend them and I will still buy when the price is right.
