Students of all races and ethnicities participated in civil rights protest in Washington state.
Here, Native American
students join a protest organized
by the Asian American students
at Seattle Central Community
College in 1971.
Students were a vital part of the Seattle civil
rights movements. This slide show explores how student activists
transformed the University of Washington,
Seattle Central Community College, and Seattle High
Schools in the late 1960’s and early 70’s.
More importantly, student activists contributed
to the broader struggle for rights and justice that reshaped
