Rename Seattle as it is named after a Slave owner
Rename Seattle as it is named after a Slave owner
The issue
As we are targeting slave owners and bringing down their statues and removing the names of slave owners from history it is only fair that the city of Seattle who is named after Chief Seattle who owned slaves captured from his raids.
We don't want any slave owners to be able to recognized
He has 2 Busts and a Fountain which need to be taken down and ripped up as well. Seattle University is honoring a slave owner on its very grounds and I would like to think a University would not have such a triggering image
Chief Seattle, also known as Bust of Chief Seattle and Chief Seattle Fountain, is a bust depicting Chief Seattle
Dont let the slave owners be idolized so contact the Council and Sign this petition please council@seattle.gov
