Bellevue College president David May: “This rededication is more than a rededication of a piece of art. It represents, for me, a rededication of the college to the values that we seek to live by.” It’s community conversation and dialogue seeking to create a discourse to confront the pale suppressing hand of white supremacy. Congratulations to the college, the community and the artist, Erin Shigaki.
