Mulugeta Seraw (Amharic: ሙሉጌታ ስራው; October 21, 1960 – November 13, 1988) was an Ethiopian student who traveled to the United States to attend college. He was 28 when he was murdered by three white supremacists in November 1988 in Portland, Oregon. They were convicted. Mulugeta's father and son, who was six years old, filed (and won) a civil lawsuit against the killers and an affiliated organization White Aryan Resistance (known as WAR) holding them liable for the murder.
