“Despite racist threats looming in the day leading up to the event, the 'Good in the Hood' parade went off without a hitch Saturday, June 24. “ (KGW News) When Good in the Hood organizers received threats of “a blood bath”, they did not cancel their festival. They contacted the FBI, but did not hire armed guards. Instead they asked for PRAYERS from the faith-based communities of Portland. Interfaith Alliance members joined in this effort. Our thanks to all who participated.
