He’s 95 and he‘ ain’t takin’ no jive'

Welcome to Street Roots Radio. This is an XRAY.FM collaboration with Portland Local Publication Street Roots. Street Roots publishes a weekly social justice newspaper sold by people experiencing homelessness and poverty to earn an income. 

This week we talk about an article from Street Roots Correspondent Jenni Moore. The article is titled, He’s 95 and he‘ ain’t takin’ no jive’: Paul Knauls Sr. helped shape the culture of Northeast Portland. Shortly after his 95th birthday, he shared how his storied past intertwines with city history — and what he sees on the horizon.
