Seattle (Wash.) -- History

This collection contains materials gathered by CORE member Jean “Maid” Adams. The bulk of the materials relate to CORE activities and fall into two categories: materials dating from the 1960s focusing on CORE campaigns and civil rights activism and more recent materials relating to the publication and promotion of the 2011 book Seattle in Black and White: The Congress of Racial Equality and the Fight for Equal Opportunity.

This collection is the result of nearly two decades of research on Washington State history by HistoryLink. The bulk of these documents were compiled during the production of HistoryLink publications, a list of which can be found in the related materials section of this finding aid. Documents within the collection include newspaper clippings, reports, interview transcripts, and promotional materials.

This collection traces the activities of two generations of the Strout family, early residents of Seattle and Bainbridge Island. Materials include postcard and photograph albums, individual photographs, scrapbooks, and ephemera.
