The Forging of a Black Community, second edition
Seattle's Central District from 1870 through the Civil Rights Era
By Quintard Taylor
Afterword by Albert S. Broussard, Foreword by Quin'Nita Cobbins-Modica, Norm Rice and Norman Rice
Afterword by Albert S. Broussard, Foreword by Quin'Nita Cobbins-Modica, Norm Rice and Norman Rice
Seattle's first black resident was a sailor named Manuel Lopes who arrived in 1858 and became the small community's first barber. He left in the early 1870s to seek economic prosperity elsewhere, but as Seattle transformed from a stopover town to a full-fledged city, African Americans began to stay and build a community. By the early twentieth century, black life in Seattle coalesced in the Central District, a four-square-mile section east of downtown. Black Seattle, however, was never a monolith. Through world wars, economic booms and busts, and the civil rights movement, black residents and leaders negotiated intragroup conflicts and had varied approaches to challenging racial inequity. Despite these differences, they nurtured a distinct African American culture and black urban community ethos. With a new foreword and afterword, this second edition of The Forging of a Black Community is essential to understanding the history and present of the largest black community in the Pacific Northwest.
