Day at Black Rock, the city of Centralia, Washington would rather forget an event that occurred there more than 70 years ago. In the movie, which is set in the West during the postwar year of 1945, the townspeople of Black Rock struggle to prevent an outsider from learning that a murder in their community has gone unpunished. In the course of the film, the outsider discovers that a Japanese-American farmer has been killed four years earlier by a leading citizen in a misdirected fit of patriotic anger following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Eerily, this plot echoes events that actually occurred in a small Washington lumber town during another postwar year, 1919. In Centralia shortly after World War I, fervent patriotism and intolerance-both fueled by war-time passions-inspired a violent labor confrontation that killed at least six people. Unlike the unseen killing at Black Rock, however, the socalled Centralia Massacre made national headlines and precipitated a crackdown on radicals across the country. Only in the intervening decades did the painful events of the past become a secret within the community, and an entire chapter of municipal history disappear. Many details of this historical murder mystery remain unknown and possibly unknowable, but the concern here is not with what happened so
