In this clip, a visitor to the Northwest African American Museum on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2024 talks about how Seattle tearing down the Black Lives Memorial Garden is a symptom of the city’s hypocrisy. In a city that is supposedly so innovative, they do backwards things like destroy spaces of community care.
They had been trying to get rid of it. And people were kind of like protesting it just because it’s like not hurting anyone. And then they I think got like bulldozers and like, tore it down.
