This oral history interview is part of "People and the Land," a collaboration between the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and Portland State University. The goal of this project is to document and preserve a record of Oregon’s land use program through the recording, transcription, collection and archiving of personal oral histories.

Willie Mae Hart was interviewed at her home in Portland, Oregon, on February 25, 2010, by Heather Burmeister and Lisa Donnelly.

Willie Mae Hart was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on April 4, 1915. Determined to protect her newborn son from racial violence in the South, she relocated first to California and then to Portland, Oregon in 1939, where she lived the rest of her life.

During World War II, she worked in the Kaiser shipyards on Swan Island, and after the war she and her husband operated Portland’s first Black-owned taxicab company. During the Vanport Flood of May 1948, they used their cabs to provide free transportation to Vanport residents fleeing the devastation.

After the Harts sold the taxicab company, Willie Mae fulfilled her lifelong ambition to work in medicine by becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse. She joined the NAACP in 1940 and was involved in civil rights and social justice organizations including the Urban League of Portland, the Council of Negro Women, and Women in Community Service throughout her life.

During her interview, Hart discusses moments in Oregon history such as the Vanport Flood, the debate over the Public Accommodations Act, and John F. Kennedy's campaign visit to Portland in 1960, where she met the candidate at an event she had organized.

(The interview begins as Hart is discussing pictures of a trip to China where she visited the Great Wall. She is pointing to a picture of herself with a young Chinese man and talking about when the photo was taken.)

A transcript of this interview is available: http://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/blackunited_oralhist/4/
