== Views == Luke saw many of his contemporaries forced to live in [[racialized]] pockets of Seattle like [[Beacon Hill, Seattle, Washington|Beacon Hill]] (largely Asian Americans) and the [[Central District, Seattle, Washington|Central District]] (largely [[African Americans]]), and felt strongly that the ability to decide where one lived should be a basic right of all citizens.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} Having firsthand awareness of the effects of racial discrimination, Luke was instrumental in Seattle's passing of an Open Housing Ordinance in 1963 with punitive provisions against racial discrimination in the selling or renting of real estate.<ref name="McKowen" /> He also fought for civil rights, [[Native American civil rights#Fishing and hunting rights|Indian fishing rights]], [[urban renewal]] and [[historic preservation]]. Luke was particularly concerned with the preservation of Seattle's [[Central Waterfront, Seattle|Central Waterfront]], [[Pioneer Square, Seattle|Pioneer Square]], and [[Pike Place Market]].<ref name="seattle times 80th" /><ref name="namesake" />
