Landmark names reflect the values, dreams and remembrances of a city’s residents. Yet when walking around Seattle, most viewers don’t know the people behind the names of local iconic sites. Join historian Mary Henry for a discussion of her new book, "Tributes: Black People Whose Names Grace Seattle Sites," and learn about the lives of the many Black figures whose names are found on street signs, parks, concert halls and more.
