Seattle's first black resident was a sailor named Manuel Lopes who arrived in 1858 and became the small community's first barber. By the early twentieth century, black life in Seattle coalesced in the Central District, a four-square-mile section east of downtown. Black Seattle, however, was never a monolith. Through world wars, economic booms and busts, and the civil rights and black power movements of the 1960s, the African American community negotiated intragroup conflicts and used varied approaches to challenge racial inequity. Despite these differences, the community shared a distinct African American culture and black urban ethos. With a new foreward and afterword, this second edition of The Forging of a Black Community is essential to understanding the history and present of the largest black community in the Pacific Northwest.
