History Café: Lessons in Building Multiracial Unity with El Centro de la Raza

Date:

Wednesday October 21

Time:

6:30 PM  –  8:00 PM

Seattle’s Latino community successfully founded El Centro de la Raza, the Center for People of all Races, after a 3-month occupation of the old Beacon Hill School in 1972. With the support of a broad multi-racial coalition, today El Centro de la Raza provides important and comprehensive services bringing together communities to organize for lasting social change. Hear from founders and community members on lessons learned from the occupation and how these inform current struggles for racial justice

Join a lively discussion about history on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Each conversation features a different topic, and invites history enthusiasts to participate. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy learning about the past! History Cafe is co-presented with MOHAI and HistoryLink.org.
