Ogden’s Black History | Roots, Race, & Culture

In the early to mid 1900's, Ogden, Utah had a bustling Black community and a vibrant art scene. We speak with Sarah McClellan and Betty Sawyer about Ogden's rich history from the influx of African Americans seeking work on the railroad, and hear from Camille Washington, co-owner of the Good Company Theatre.

Being a fourth generation railroad worker. I loved this my dad a white man loved the porters and cooks. He road the rails to work every week until I was eight years old. I remember riding the train from Pocatello to Nampa one time my dad introduced me to the cook and his young son. The main reason I think i don't see race as a reason to judge is how my dad spoke of a d to black men. Racism is taught and we need to educate people to quit teaching it.
