Paperback, 304 Pages: Portland, 1988: the racist murder of Ethiopian immigrant Mulugeta Seraw by neo-Nazi skinheads shocked the city and sparked a wave of resistance. It Did Happen Here is an oral history of the community response—an inspiring collaboration between immigrants, civil rights activists, militant youth, and queer organizers who confronted white nationalist violence across the Pacific Northwest. Centered on interviews with members of three key groups—Anti-Racist Action, Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP), and the Coalition for Human Dignity—this book chronicles how these antiracists used a diversity of tactics, from street fights to intel gathering, to expose and push back fascist forces. Harassed by police and ignored by the city, they built their own movement—and won. Their stories offer critical lessons for organizing today.
