The Seattle movement was part of the wider Civil Rights Movement, taking place in Seattle, Washington in the 1960s. The movement was reliant on several intersecting movements led by Filipino Americans, Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans, Jews, Latinos, and Native Americans, and the working class. From the 1910s through the 1970s, labor and civil rights were linked in complicated ways, with some unions and radical organizations providing critical support to struggles for racial justice, while others stood in the way.
