As Seattle undergoes rapid transformation, the Central District reflects many of the challenges neighborhoods across the city face in balancing change with preservation. Join Jill Friedberg from Shelf Life Community Story Project and Madeline Crowley of People of the Central Area & Their Stories to hear how their oral history projects are not only helping to preserve this legacy, but may influence the way in which we imagine our city's future.

Join Mary Henry and Josephine Stokes as they share their work documenting the history of Seattle's black community. Learn about Seattle's Central District as it was in the mid-20th Century, as well as the significant African American leaders who have shaped our region.
