Abstract
In 1909, against a backdrop of rising racial tension in Seattle, a Japanese restaurant that previously accepted black customers refused servce to city residents Powell and Katherine Barnett. Powell Barnett described the incident in an interview thirty years later: We went into this place and were told that management had changed their [sic] policy and we couldn't be served because we were colored. I never went back.
