This is the second year that the annual PASS Data Community Summit has been virtual. Last year, as a pandemic gripped the world, I thought we might never see another one. I'm glad we have one this year, and I look forward to going back to a live, in-person Summit in 2022. That being said, this year's event has been better than I expected in many ways, mostly because of spatial.chat. I can remember walking through the hallway of the Washington State Convention center and seeing Taiob Ali coming the other way. We stepped to the side of the hallway and had a chat among hundreds of people walking by. I thought about that in the Community Zone when he and I, with a couple others, were talking with each other in a group, away from others that were also in the room. We could see their avatars, but we were far enough away in the virtual space that our conversation didn't upset others. Read the rest of Summit Reflections
Dorothy Bullitt visits The Context of White Supremacy. Bullitt is a Distinguished Practitioner and Senior Lecturer in the Evans School Of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington. Her imopeccable list of community service includes stints as assistant state attorney general, chair of Washington's Rhodes Scholar selection committee, and treasurer of the Washington State Convention and Trade Center. She's had numerous reports on housing and policy issues published in The Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Jerry Large recently interviewed Bullitt for a Times piece examining how her family's wealth was obtained by enslaving black people. "I knew there were slaves, but I got it in my head that they had to be nice slave owners, because my relatives were nice people," she explained. Since she claims to feel "sick" about her ancestors flesh peddling and barbarism, we're eager to unearth what she does to compensate Victims of White Supremacy. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
