520 |a 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
