Reactions in the Wake of the Murder of George Floyd

Listen to the vice provost and a student talk about what it was like in Seattle in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. They discuss the stigmatizing media portrayals of “violence” and “riots,” when the movement was peaceful and just.

I didn’t really appreciate how it got portrayed, like these people are coming in and are just ripping up stores, and that gets put on black people that like all these guys are just violent.
