The Seattle City Council is probably going to get more heat over the Black Brilliance Research Project.
Despite months of work and $3 million from the city s budget, the project s goals are still pretty amorphous, and the presentation researchers gave to the council on Monday didn t do much to answer questions reporters raised earlier this month.
The project, spearheaded by King County Equity Now (KCEN) but contracted through the Freedom Project because of a 501(c)(3) complication, will consist of many individual research projects from a team of around 100 researchers from local communities of color. The research aims to create a list of budget priorities around issues that impact marginalized communities for the council to follow through on, kind of like a budget priority vision board.
