MEDICINE HAT — One by one their names are written in chalk along 3rd street. Each one according to the organizers represents the name of a Black or Indigenous life that was taken by police brutality in the United States and Canada.
Sophia Stacey is a 17-year-old recent graduate of Medicine Hat High school.
” I think their lives were taken so tragically, without consideration of the life they lived and the life they could of continued to live, and I think they were taken so unnecessarily that is our responsibility, me and you and every citizen to stand in solidarity with them and the Black community, as they go through this, so I think it is important not just in Medicine Hat but everywhere when we see these names on the internet and on our streets that we just think about what they went through,” Stacey said.
