Bakery in Oregon
Milwaukie Pastry Kitchen, established in the 1940s in downtown Milwaukie, Oregon, United States, at 10607 SE Main St., became the first black-owned and operated bakery in the state when Hurtis Mixon Hadley Sr., and his wife Dorothy Butler-Bishop Hadley of Portland, Oregon purchased it in 1977. At that time, there were fewer than two percent African-Americans in the state and even fewer Black-owned businesses.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
