6park.comThe bronze Thomas Jefferson statue that has loomed for years above the Jefferson High School football field and North Killingsworth St. was pulled from its marble pedestal Sunday night, hours after a protest had gathered at the school. The words “slave owner” and “George Floyd” were spray-painted on the white marble beneath where the Jefferson statue had stood. 6park.com

In recent months the statue has been vandalized numerous times with anti-slavery messages, the anti-fascist symbol, and the word “decolonize.”
Jefferson has one of the highest percentages of Black students among Oregon schools and has long been a center of the historically African-American community of North and Northeast Portland. Its 620-student enrollment makes it small for a high school, but it’s gained fame recently for its rapidly rising graduation rate, particularly for students of color. 6park.com
