The Portland Observer is one of the oldest African-American newspapers in Oregon.[1][2][3] Established in 1970, it is published weekly[4] (on Wednesdays), in Portland, Oregon. Rev. Alfred L. Henderson founded the paper in 1970, in the tradition of the People's Observer, a 1940s publication that had ceased publication in 1950.[5] Another paper had the same title in Portland, Michigan, from 1876 into the 20th century.[6][7]
