Wing Luke
Wing Chong Luke (February 25, 1925–April 28, 1965, ) was Assistant Attorney General of the U.S. state of Washington in the Civil Rights Division from 1957 to 1962, and a member of the Seattle City Council from March 13, 1962 until his death in 1965. He was the first Asian American to hold elected office in the state. == Early Life == Luke was born on February 25, 1925, in a small town near Canton, China. His grandfather had run a laundry in Seattle, but exclusion laws forced Luke's father to return to China. When Luke was five, his family moved to the United States, but he did not settle in Seattle until 1931 at the age of six. Upon their arrival in Seattle, the family saved to open a modest laundry and grocery store in the University District. Luke was the oldest of six children. While in school, Luke was often teased because he was Chinese American. However, he eventually became the Roosevelt High School student body president. In 1944, his grades and civic activities earned him one of nine slots as a high school consultant for the White House Conference on juvenile problems.
