SIUSLAW NEWS | F RIDAY , J ULY 3, 2020 | 3A Deadwood to demonstrate in solidarity with Black Lives Members of the Dead- wood community, led by their children, will gath- er on Saturday, July 4, to peacefully protest in sol- idarity with Black Lives Matter. All demonstrators will wear masks and phys- ically distance from each other. The protest will be held at 11 a.m. at the parking lot of the Deadwood Post Office on Highway 36. Shoshanna Hol- man-Gross organized the event to give local children a safe space to show sup- port for the BLM move- ment. “We want our children to understand that they too, have a responsibili- ty to work for justice, to stand with our communi- ties of color, and that rural community members, of all ages, must be part of the solution to this nation- al problem,” she said. The children will make signs, and gather with community adults, to demonstrate their de- mands for justice for Black Lives. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “This is no time for apathy or com- placency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.” Here’s your chance to have a bit of history for just $3!

ECC facilities are required to take additional safety and health precautions during the outbreak to protect chil- dren and staff.
