NEW: Expanded SEATTLE OPEN HOUSING DEBATE Audio Archives
The linked audio tapes provided exclusively to TheBlackPast.org by the Seattle Municipal Archives chronicle the story of Open Housing in Seattle. The tapes linked are of the Open Housing Hearing conducted by the Seattle City Council on October 23, 1963.

These audio tapes are part of a larger website project and traveling exhibition being developed by the Archives for 2007. The project, "Seattle in the 1960s: Open Housing Legislation," makes available to the public selected documents, photographs and audio material that will describe the debates surrounding open housing legislation enacted in 1963 and 1968.

The following three audio tapes, provided by the Seattle Municipal Archives, help tell the story of Open Housing in Seattle. The tapes are part of a website project and traveling exhibition being developed by the Archives that will debut sometime during Black History Month in 2007. The project, "Seattle in the 1960s: Open Housing Legislation," will make availabe to the public selected documents, photographs and audio material that will describe the debates surrounding open housing legislation enacted in 1963 and 1968. The SMA has graciously allowed us to make availabe three of those tapes from the 1963 Open Housing Hearings before the Seattle City Council.

They are:

• Rev.John H. Adams describing why the Seattle City Council should pass open housing legislation.
• Nancy McGhee describing why she opposes the proposed open housing ordinance.
• Ilene Meacham, an apartment owner discussing the response of her white tenants after she allowed an African American to rent a unit in her building.
