Students from college to kindergarten are watching and still processing what’s happened.
Schools in Spokane are now stepping up to provide a safe space for them to do it.
At Gonzaga University, that safe space was at a Post-verdict Community Gathering this afternoon, filled with students and staff showing support for their Black community members and peers.
“It’s such a huge turnout. It’s really awesome to see,” said Gonzaga junior Grace Portch.
Some even spoke up about what it is they were feeling after the trial.
“I am simply thankful for all of you who are here,” said Gonzaga University Crime Prevention and Education Officer Phillip Tyler. “Who stand with us. Share our emotions, experiences, frustrations, fears and the ideas to face these tough times and build community.”

SPOKANE, Wash. – Many people are waiting for things to go back to normal.
The vaccine is supposed to help pave that path forward, but it’s taking a while. There are still some people who are reluctant to get that shot.
“If you have fear and apprehension, it’s real,” said Phillip Tyler, a Spokane resident.
Tyler didn’t want to be one of the first people to get the COVID vaccine. He was afraid.
“I don’t want to be essentially a guinea pig, if you will, for the vaccine,” he told 4 News Now.
