FILE - In this April 26, 2017, file photo, lawmakers in Oregon's House of Representatives sit-in session in Salem, Ore. Acknowledging Oregon's history of racism, Democratic leaders in the House pledged Monday, Jan. 4, 2021, to open paths for more diverse representation in the Legislature and its leadership. In a related development, Rep. Janelle Bynum, who is Black, announced she is dropping her bid to unseat Rep. Tina Kotek, who is white, as House speaker. Back in 2017, Bynum had noted that Oregon's original Constitution prohibited Black people from residing in the territory and said she was reminded of that by the huge mural of white settlers on the House wall.
