"Gang of Four," by Bob Santos and Gary Iwamoto

Ross Reynolds interviews Larry Gossett and Bob Santos, two members of Seattle’s "Gang of Four." In the social turmoil of the 1960s and '70s, four Seattle political activists came of age: Roberto Maestas from the Latino community, Native American activist Bernie Whitebear, Bob Santos of the Asian community, and African American leader Larry Gossett.

Santos is the co-author of “Gang of Four: Four Leaders. Four Communities. One Friendship."
