By 1963 the direct action protests of the civil rights campaigns in the South had, as one Seattle minister proclaimed, finally 'leaped the Cascade Mountains.' By that he meant that even the far West was caught up in the massive struggle to eliminate racial discrimination throughout the nation. This lecture recounts the rarely told story of the western campaign. It explores the consequences of that struggle in the 1960s and 1970s to determine if indeed the imagined 'beloved community,' so often proclaimed by civil rights activists in Seattle as well as Selma, actually emerged in the West.
