Seattle Mayor William F. Devin: Held the office from 1942 to 1952. In the quote below, he talks about appointing the Civic Unity Committee, which was tasked with addressing potential racial violence. Two weeks later, a race riot broke out at Fort Lawton in Magnolia due to the inequitable treatment of African American soldiers.

They argue, 'Why appoint a committee to work on the problem of racial tensions when there is no problem?' This argument did not appeal to me, but there are still a great number who feel that the committee should not have been appointed. [...]

It was also my theory in appointing this committee that a great bulk of the people in this city haven't any definite prejudices for or against the Negro people or anyone else. We are a northern city which means that we did not grow up with a prejudice against the Negro race. However, we are all ordinary citizens and we are apt to be influenced very easily and swayed from one side to the other by unthinking people and leaders who bring to us misinformation that causes prejudices against not only the Negro, the Jew, the Catholic but against all groups.
