Dismantling Racism: Black Lives Matter

Change is now.

The video documenting George Floyd’s murder has shaken the world. America’s silence has been broken and voices have been heard loud and clear across the country. In support of ending anti-Black racism, RVHS is committed to the voices of Black Lives Matter. As we dig deep into our mission statement to find how history connects us, we are ready to improve how we collect, preserve, interpret, and share African American heritage. We are committed to hosting the Dismantling Racism series, sharing educational resources, supporting Black owned- businesses, and exhibiting Rainier Valley's Black American history. We stand in solidarity for justice and equality for Black Americans and for the changes needed now.
