Not your hipster’s Seattle: the political bombings of the George Jackson Brigade
The George Jackson Brigade was an underground revolutionary collective active in the Seattle area from 1975-1977. They set off 15 bombings in solidarity with the prison and labor movement in the mid-seventies.
Most of their bombings either destroyed buildings or cut power to certain neighborhoods. However, one bombing, of a Safeway grocery store, injured several innocent people.
A new book has come out documenting the hidden history of this group—Amber Cortes has the story.
