Seattle Channel Video

Since the pioneer days, Seattle has been defined by the arrival of successive waves of newcomers and by the challenges they have posed to the existing order. Dr. Quintard Taylor will examine how the city's vibrant and sometimes contentious population was built up, one person at a time, from the first Native American inhabitants to the frenetic growth of the 21st century. Dr. Quintard Taylor is a specialist in African American history in the American West with over three decades of research and teaching experience in this field.
