Carpenter built a path for future generations By AMY MARTINEZ STARKE, Oregonian
During the war, Alex worked in the shipyards. But job opportunities for African American men were few. Carpentry was Alex's love. He kept at it and was finally allowed to become an apprentice then journeyman carpenter, and he was one of the first African American union carpenters in the Portland area.------------------------------------------- posted 6:53 AM :: reference link ::
