Local historian Marilyn Morgan's new book centers women who defied the odds to forge a path forward in the Pacific Northwest. Trailblazing Black Women of Washington State digs into the hidden histories of women like Nettie Craig Asberry, founder of the Tacoma NAACP, and Dr. Dolores Silas, the first Black woman on Tacoma City Council. Morgan will be joined in conversation by Fae Brooks, former chief of criminal investigations at the King County Sheriff’s Office, and Cynthia Tucker, historian at the Washington State Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs.
