Resistance and Community Leadership Episode #10 Shelf Life Podcast

This week we release the tenth and final episode of the Shelf Life podcast! We wrap up the podcast with stories about Resistance and Community Leadership. Learn about the Panthers, The Congress of Racial Equality, Tyree Scott and the United Construction Workers Association, Mothers for Police Accountability, and Dr Martin Luther King’s visit to Seattle. Hear stories about the community organizations that brought people together and the acts of civil disobedience that defined the Central District for decades. While this episode barely scratches the surface, we hope listeners will come away curious to learn more about the community leaders and social movements that shaped this city. Hear stories from the late Dr Reverend Samuel B McKinney and his daughter Rhoda, from Mike Tagawa, Harriet G Walden, Michael Fox, Hayward Evans, and others!

This podcast was produced by Mayowa Aina, Jill Freidberg, and Domonique Meeks. Original score by Bubba Jones. Funding from King County 4Culture. Also, and important, the podcast is just one part of the Shelf Life project. Stay tuned to learn about Shelf Life’s next steps.
