'A beautiful day': Nubian Jam celebrates
EVERETT — A clear, cool day drew crowds to Forest Park on Saturday as the Snohomish County Black Heritage Committee hosted the annual Nubian Jam.
Some greeted Marilyn Quincy, the heritage committee’s historian and founder. A storyteller, she spoke with passersby from inside the group’s tent.
On Saturday, while braced against the chill in a puffy jacket, she recounted a story about finding out her great grandfather — the namesake of the William P. Stewart Highway in Everett — was part of the Union army.
She also recalled being one of the original organizers of the first Nubian Jam in 1993 and is happy with what it has become.
