The tradition of honoring an individual from Portland's diverse immigrant community began in 2011, with the unveiling of the Portland Immigrant Statue in Parkrose.
On November 21st, folks huddled under canopies, trying to avoid wind-blown rain, at the Portland Immigrant Statue site in outer East Portland – on a traffic island along NE Sandy Boulevard at Killingsworth Street.
