WSU Professor Robert Franklin will speak about the interviews he's accomplished with more than 30 Black residents of the Ti-Cities. Both women and men moved for work to the Hanford project, starting in the 1940s, most of them relocating from the south. They had to overcome bad attitudes, bias and some forms of segregation in central Washington too. Franklin has coauthored volumes for the Hanford Histories series under WSU Press. after receiving a two year-grant from the National Park Service titled “Documenting Segregation, Migration and Civil Rights at the Manhattan Project National Historical Park, Hanford Unit.”
