John T. Williams was a woodcarver. He was of the Nitinaht First Nation, born into a family that has carved in Seattle for nearly a century. He was holding a piece of wood and a carving knife when a Seattle police officer wrongfully shot and killed him on August 30, 2010.
Sixteen years later, his brother Rick Williams will speak about him at the Mural Amphitheater at Seattle Center, a short walk from the honor pole the Williams family raised in 2012.
Sunday, August 30 | 12:00 to 2:00 PM
Mural Amphitheater, Seattle Center
Come for a few minutes or stay the whole time. There will be space to speak, space to listen, and space to be in community with each other.
