Scope and content
In May of 1968 Harold Moss was photographed with three unidentified members of his staff at the Central Area Employment Office, 1103 South 23rd Street in the Hilltop neighborhood. The Central Area Employment Office was established to help inner city residents obtain jobs. Mr. Moss had been hired through the Chamber of Commerce and Tacoma Area Coalition to solicit jobs for the disadvantaged. He would later become a well known political figure in Tacoma, holding offices on the City and County Councils as well as becoming the first black mayor of Tacoma in 1994. (TNT 4-21-68, A-1, A-23)
