is being felt all across the country, after the 29-year-old father died in police custody.
Community members mourning his loss gathered at Plymouth Church in downtown Seattle, for a vigil in his honor. The church became a sanctuary, where people from all backgrounds were able to express their feelings as family."We’ve been gathering like this for 159 years," Reverend Harriet Walden said. "55 years ago, Martin Luther King was killed in Memphis by white racists—55 years ago—and here we are, 55 years later."The community came together to honor the late father with poems and songs.
The death hit especially hard in the Seattle community, which took to the streets to protest Nichols' death—reminiscent of the Black Lives Matter march following the police killing of George Floyd, and other protests after the deaths of Manny Ellis and Charleena Lyles."He was beaten to an inch of death, he was visibly broken and dying," Dr. Brown said.
