Summary:

"This guide is intended to acquaint county residents and visitors with some of the more easily accessible landmarks of African-American history. These include works of art and cultural and historical sites which have been passed or driven by, for years while their existence, significance or association with African Americans in King County over the past century and a half has gone unnoted. This book provides information to give the user a sense of the creators and participants, the places and the activities associated with them ... Except for private homes and corporations most of the art and sites included here are accessible to public viewers. They are marked on the maps accompanying each section." from author's preface
