Calling all Washington State history buffs.  Now available on-line are oral histories of Washington citizens who’ve had an impact on the state.

Sponsored by the Secretary of State’s office, histories included are from Krist Novaselic, the Nirvana bass player and Adele Ferguson, the first female member of the Capital press corps.  But my personal favorite is the personal history of former Justice Charles Z Smith, the first black member of the state Supreme Court. He is one of the trailblazers that has opened doors for so many others. Read about his road to the Supreme Court.

More profiles are being compiled and will be released soon.
