Review Quotes: "Illuminates and broadens our understanding of the important role that Black students played in the Black Power Movement in the racially homogeneous regions of the Pacific Northwest. The book's expertly curated sources document the experiences of black students at the University of Washington and Washington State University, and it illustrates the ways in which they organized through the Black Student Union and Black Studies Movement to agitate for progressive curricular and social change."--Dwayne Mack, author of Black Spokane: The Civil Rights Struggle in the Inland Northwest
