South by Northwest. Vol. 5: The Roslyn Migration.
Volume 5 of South by Northwest tells the story of Jim Shepperson, who was hired to bring black coal workers to Roslyn, Washington in 1888 as part of an effort to break a strike by white coal workers over unsafe conditions, and looks at the black workers' subsequent difficulties and integration into the community. South by Northwest was a series of short films produced by KWSU in 1976, reenacting significant African American people and events in the history of the Pacific Northwest.
The initial $248,000 contract for these films was awarded to Washington State University's KWSU-TV, to produce five docudramas based upon the stories of black Americans in the early northwest, to be aimed at middle-school students. Based upon research headed by WSU Professors Quintard Taylor and Talmadge Anderson, and produced by media expert Nate Long, five initial half-hour television programs were completed in 1976, and three more programs followed in 1981. South by Northwest was cited for outstanding participation by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration, and won a Corporation for Public Broadcasting Award and a New York Film Festival Award.
There is at least one use of racist language in this video.
In 2010, Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) digitized these eight productions. The films are held in the WSU Libraries as VHS tapes; this one is call number vhs17487v5.
Information presented here about these programs was drawn primarily from South by Northwest: An Educational Television Series Designed to Teach Regional Black History, Integrated Education v. 18, pg. 94-96, 1980, by Dennis A. Warner, et al, as well as from KWSU's Radio and Television Services Records: and

Pauline Barich Interview 1977 You Tube
Interview of my grandmother, Pauline Barich, done in 1977 for a high school project. Vance Barich and Pauline Barich immigrated to the U.S. as young 18 and 20 year olds.
On the day Pauline Barich, a Croatian, boarded a ship to travel from Europe to America, her mother sent her off with a basket of food to sustain her.
It didn’t last.
Somewhere along that oceanic crossing a gypsy convinced the pretty 18-year-old, traveling alone in steerage, to trade her food in exchange for learning her fortune.
Who knows what he told her? That she would be hungry in a strange land?
Or that on the train to Washington state, where her sister and brother-in-law were forging a life in the mining town of Roslyn, a kindly black porter would share his food with her — and protect her with good advice?
The year was 1914
Pauline went on to Roslyn, helped her sister’s family, met her husband Vance Barich, also Croatian, and married him two years later after he’d reimbursed her brother-in-law and sister for her travel expenses. She and Vance had 15 children, one of whom died as an infant in 1937. The third floor of the family’s home served as barracks for the boys.
The family ate in shifts — and took pride in their role as Americans. Seven of the Barich siblings were serving in World War II in May 1945, when the family was featured in a parade in Seattle during the seventh war bond drive.
From the 2001 First Barich Cousins Reunion.....Family dynasty that today numbers 162 direct descendants which includes 14 children, 55 grandchildren, 76 great grandchildren and 17 great great grandchildren.
We are remember Grandma and Grandpa and their joy and laughter. This is one of their greatest legacies, the love of family.

Xiomaro's The Other Side Photography Exhibit
The Other Side looks at the William Floyd Estate in Mastic Beach, a National Park unit of Fire Island National Seashore. Long Island plantation and slave owner General William Floyd set his signature to the Declaration of Independence in July 1776. At the heart of the collection are photographs of undated wooden crosses bearing generic slave names, set apart on the other side of a fence from the elaborate individualized stones of the Floyd family cemetery. The photographs serve as spiritual memorials to the laborers – both enslaved persons and paid house servants of color – who worked on the estate.
Visit for exhibit information. Read the press release here: See the photos here:

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
