N2  - "The stunning true story of a Black man convicted and exiled from Oregon under the territory's Exclusion Law in 1851-and of a white woman wrestling with faith, racism, and privilege today after discovering that she's related to the pastor who stood by and watched"--; When Sanderson moved back to the outskirts of Portland, Oregon-- called the "Whitest city in America"-- she became curious about the colonization of the West, her ancestors, and the legal exile of Jacob Vanderpool, a Black man convicted and exiled under the Oregon Exclusion Law in 1851. She examined four city leaders involved in Vanderpool's case: Oregon City's founder, the case judge, Vanderpool's accuser, and a local pastor-- as well as the cultural and theological fallout of their decisions. Along the way, Sanderson took a hard look at her tendencies to ignore the possibility of prejudice in her heart, and the importance to contributing to the good of the people and places around us. -- adapted from jacket
