City of Ellensburg issued the following announcement on June 11.
“There’s never been a time in American history that Black lives have been safe from state violence and white vigilante violence. I cannot point you to a decade time span. It just does not exist.”
— Megan Ming Francis, associate professor of Political Science, University of Washington
That statement goes to the heart of the anger and frustration expressed during protests in Ellensburg, across this country, and around the world. If you are not black, take a moment to think about those words. “There has never been a time in American history”.... reflect on that — never.
