A champion of equality for all Edwin T. Pratt
Every February, in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, we celebrate Black History Month. Since 1969, the US has observed this to some degree or another to spread education about the African-American Community. It hasn’t always been met with enthusiasm, but it continued to grow in momentum and still does to this day. In recent years, it has become even more important as the right to freedom and equality carries on.
We wanted to take this week's episode as an opportunity to speak about a prominent member of the African-American community who had lived and died for his beliefs. Edwin T. Pratt would make it his life’s work to help his community and fellow man, searching to help end segregation in schools, help people of color find affordable and decent housing and be able to afford to support their families by earning a good wage. He was a huge believer in getting an education and always preached that violence was not the answer. He is remembered as being charismatic, intelligent and a large presence in any room. His work in the 1950s and ’60s with the National Urban League has assured him a legacy in the Seattle area.
It is this legacy that would contribute to the shortness of his life. He was assassinated at the front door to his home in Shoreline, Washington on January 26, 1969. He was only 38 years old.
He left behind a wife, a young daughter, and numerous friends and family who grieved for the life that was lost, as well as the one he should have lived.
His work may have ended, but his legacy lives on.
In this episode, we honor Edwin T. Pratt for his work in the Civil Rights Movement and the accomplishments he made in the PNW.
