Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Ivan King was born Winston Ivan King in Wenatchee, Washington in 1934 and moved to Seattle in 1940. His father was unable to work after being crippled in an accident and died when King was a small child, leaving the family dependent on social services.

As a young adult in Seattle, King became an active pacifist and Christian socialist through his involvement in the Pentecostal church. While attending predominately Black Pentecostal churches, he began researching and writing about Black history, befriended Christian socialists, and came to see a parallel between racial prejudice and the class discrimination he experienced as part of a welfare family,

King studied race relations as an undergraduate at Seattle Pacific University in the mid 1950s, before transferring to the University of Washington. In 1957, he co-founded and served as Chairman of the Anvil Club, a socialist student organization that sought to sustain activism on the UW campus during the height of the Cold War. Through his socialist activism, King met Walt Hundley, with whom he attempted to found the first Seattle Chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). King was also active in the UW Civil Rights Action Group (CRAG).

In 1964, King was hired as Assistant Director of the Seattle Urban League. Over the next three years, he supported Director Ed Pratt's effort to transform the Urban League into a more activist organization, working on a variety of issues related to education, housing, and welfare, and drafting the original funding proposal for Model Cities. In 1967, Walt Hundley recruited King from the Urban League to oversee the Central Area Motivation Program's (CAMP) Action Education Centers (AEC). The AEC staged controversial grassroots community education programs that sought to challenge racism, facilitate dialog, and promote awareness of African American history. When AEC funding was cut after just one year, Hundley, who had left CAMP to lead Seattle's Model Cities Program, hired King to serve as his Employment and Economic Development Coordinator. Years later, King wrote a brief history of CAMP in 1990.
