Dear History Community,

This Wednesday, January 10, marks the start of our 49th annual History Lecture Series<https://history.washington.edu/history-lecture-series> at 7:00 p.m. in Kane Hall where John Findlay will be presenting the first lecture of this five-part series.

"City and Citizens: Seattleites and Their Rights, 1850-2000"

Findlay's talk will focus on the changing populations of Seattle and how they were shaped by the nation's evolving concepts of citizenship. It will examine the historical demographics of the city and look at what groups of people came to and settled in Seattle over the decades. It will also explore how laws and policies regarding citizenship influenced who came and stayed and who was and was not welcome in the city. Largely national in scope, those laws and policies governed immigration and naturalization, voting rights and civil rights, and the status of Native peoples, among other things. Seattleites did not merely accept, apply, and endure federal laws and policies, however. At times they defied national guidelines by trying to substitute their own or by campaigning to redefine who could or could not possess the rights of citizenship.
