Tape 1 Side A - the first one to two minutes of the beginning of tape was cut off due to audio distortion. The continuation of the interview on Tape 2 comes to an abrupt end. Larry Gossett interviews both Mr. Terenz Goodwin and his wife together. Mr. Goodwin speaks briefly about his days as a black, professional baseball player. The Goodwins talk about their lives in Walla Walla, Washington and then discuss the Central District neighborhood in Seattle where they lived for many years. They both speak of their working experiences in the 1920s and beyond. Mrs. Goodwin worked at Bon Marche department store for a time while Mr. Goodwin recounts his experience working on ships, at Dodge Motor Company, at Ben Paris restaurants, and at United Airlines. They discuss the few job opportunities there were for African American men before World War II and the involvement of African American men in pimping. They also discuss the migration of poor whites and African Americans to Seattle during World War II. Gossett asks the Goodwins what their opinions are on the Civil Rights movement, the Black Power movement, and on race relations in the United States. They discuss Martin Luther King Jr. and Gossett argues with the interviewees about the tactics of African American youth and the Washington state educational system. This accession is part of the Afro-American project.
