Think Out Loud

Last month Paul Knauls was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame for his role as owner of the legendary jazz venue, The Cotton Club. Today, Knauls will be honored with a commemorative marker on Alberta Street, for his role as the owner of the barbershop Geneva’s Shear Perfection. Knauls, who is known unofficially as the Mayor of North Portland, shares his memories of Portland’s African-American community.
