Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil
Jul
12

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil

Join our community partners, the Lloyd EcoDistrict, for the Keaton Otis Vigil each month on the 12th from 6 to 7 PM at the intersection of NE Halsey Street & NE 6th Avenue in Lloyd.

Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd in 2010 at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster.” Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12th of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.

His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.

Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil

Join our community partners, the Lloyd EcoDistrict, for the Keaton Otis Vigil each month on the 12th from 6 to 7 PM at the intersection of NE Halsey Street & NE 6th Avenue in Lloyd.

Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd in 2010 at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster.” Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12th of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.

His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.

Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.

Lloyd Intersection Mural Repainting & Block Party

  • Google Calendar ICS

Join Lloyd EcoDistrict, local artists, and neighbors for the 2025 Lloyd Intersection Mural Repainting & Block Party as we repaint the vibrant street mural at NE 2nd & Clackamas, originally created in 2017.

🎉 Sunday, August 24 is our main community volunteer and celebration day, complete with:
🎨 Mural painting (all skill levels welcome!)
🎶 Music and live DJ
🍕 Free snacks and treats
👧 Family-friendly activities

Saturday, August 23 is a smaller prep day to lay down the white base coat—fewer volunteers are needed for that day.

🌟 Volunteer Info

We’ll offer optional 2-hour shifts, but folks are welcome to stay longer or drop in for a bit—no pressure! Sign-up links will go live in summer 2025.

All painting supplies provided. Just bring your enthusiasm (and clothes you don’t mind getting paint on)!

🎨 About the Mural

The Lloyd Intersection Mural was originally painted in 2017 with artists Jon Stommel & Travis Czekalski of Rather Severe and supported by City Repair, Color Outside the Lines, and dozens of community volunteers. It’s been refreshed in 2019 and 2022—and with your help, we’ll keep this swirling burst of color alive and evolving!

Let’s paint the street and celebrate community—together!

Annual Spring Rose Show

The Portland Rose Society Annual Spring Rose Show is the largest and longest-running rose show in the nation. The exquisite beauty and fragrances of this yearly show emanate from more than 4,000 blooms. Entry is open to anyone, and all entrants are encouraged. Rose growers from across the Pacific Northwest participate, and some 6,000 spectators from across the country are expected to visit this year’s Spring Rose Show. Sparkling trophies go to those entrants who grow the most beautiful roses.


ADMISSION IS FREE

Show schedule is available on the PRS website.

Mrs. Henry Pittock, wife of the first Oregonian publisher, along with some of her neighbors and friends, established the Portland Rose Society in 1889. Their vision was that Portlanders would perpetuate the glory of the rose throughout the years. Their dream has been kept in focus for more than a century by dedicated rose gardeners. From the first rose show in Mrs. Pittock’s own garden in King Heights to today’s extravaganzas at the Lloyd Center, the Rose Society has kept alive the intent and purpose of growing and showing the best of the best of roses for the enjoyment of the citizens of Portland.

Today, the Portland Rose Society has around 600 members. Aside from presenting one of the premier rose shows in the United States, the group has built the Gold Medal Garden and the Pavilion at the Washington Park International Rose Test Garden, and it aids in the rose pruning there. The society also conducts many rose pruning demonstrations in late winter, sponsors two other rose shows and gives free rose growing advice and assistance to those who request it. Membership is open to all who are interested in roses whether it’s one or two in a pot or a thousand in a garden.

For more information, call 971-251-0604 or visit the Portland Rose Society.

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil
May
12

Monthly Keaton Otis Vigil

Join our community partners, the Lloyd EcoDistrict, for the Keaton Otis Vigil each month on the 12th from 6 to 7 PM at the intersection of NE Halsey Street & NE 6th Avenue in Lloyd.

Keaton Otis was a young Black man killed by the Portland police on May 12, 2010 in Lloyd in 2010 at NE 6th and NE Halsey. The police admitted they stopped him for “looking like a gangster.” Keaton’s father Fred Bryant started the monthly vigil on the 12th of the month after his son’s murder on the spot where Keaton’s life was taken. Fred Bryant did this for over three years, fighting for justice for his son, every single month in the rain, the dark, the heat, and the snow. Fred Bryant passed away on October 29, 2013.

His family and community have committed to continuing the vigils every month on the 12th, until justice is achieved for Keaton, for Fred, and for our whole community.

Since 2019 Lloyd EcoDistrict has been working with the Black-led Justice for Keaton Otis collective to memorialize the life of Keaton Otis. Join community members at the corner of NE 6th and NE Halsey on the 12th of every month at 6:00 PM to remember Keaton and call for justice.
