Pullman city councilmembers took the first step in reorganizing the downtown mural project Tuesday night, starting with approval to host a community town hall meeting.
The council approved a series of panels, where each one would be created on an annual basis over a period of several years.
“It’s the city’s commitment to engage in work on having a seat at the table in this community-wide conversation that’s been occurring about what does racism look like in our community, what does it mean to us and how do we address it,” Councilmember Dan Records said.
The city council art mural subcommittee, comprised of Records, Pat Wright and Eileen Macoll, met Feb. 23 and decided the group needed more input than themselves to make recommendations.
