The George Jackson Brigade was an underground revolutionary collective active in the Seattle area. They set off 15 bombings in solidarity with the prison and labor movement in the mid-seventies. Most of their bombings either destroyed buildings or cut power to certain neighborhoods. However, one bombing, of a Safeway grocery store, injured several innocent people. A new book has come out documenting the hidden history of this group, and Amber Cortes has the story.
