Our Urgent Mission
We Want Reparations NOW
We're demanding justice, acknowledgement, and a brighter future for an estimated 400,000 African American descendants of those brutally enslaved in U.S. Chattel Slavery.
Meet Charles Mitchel, a 12-year-old enslaved boy who arrived in Olympia Washington in 1860
Free Boy is the story of a 13-year-old slave who escaped from Washington Territory to freedom in Canada on the West's underground railroad.
The Inspiring Legacy of
Charles Mitchell
The proposed Commission is named in honor of Charles Mitchell. In 1860, a 12-year-old enslaved boy named Charles Mitchell arrived in Olympia, Washington Territory. Despite his youth, Mitchell possessed an indomitable spirit that would change history. Risking everything for freedom, he courageously escaped via the Puget Sound Underground Railroad, finding sanctuary in Victoria, B.C., Canada. Mitchell's brave journey from chains to freedom embodies the resilience and hope that drive our mission today.
