Reconcile Wright legacy

Thu., May 28, 2015

I applaud The Spokesman-Review for reporting the shadowed legacy of Col. George Wright. And, I hope that the residents of Spokane, and its leaders, can bring peace to us through truth and reconciliation.

Let’s all have the courage to revisit the honor that we have bestowed upon Wright by considering the monuments, streets and institutions that bear his name.
