It has all the makings of an intense confrontation several police vehicles surround Curry, sirens blare, cops approach with guns drawn but Chief Richardson noticed something as he got closer and demanded she open her door … she was completely terrified.
Chief Richardson says … “The look on her face was of sheer terror. She was shaking and it was obvious she was scared. I talked to her to calm her down and then she hugged me. That has never happened to me after a pursuit.” De-escalation at its finest.
The chief says Curry was shaking so badly she couldn’t even get her seat belt off, so he helped her and she started crying and hugged him. He says he didn’t perceive her to be a threat in any way.
“The impact of what she did as a young person is so compelling and it changed so many lives,” said Margaret Vanderhye, a former Democratic state lawmaker and one of the commissioners. “Sometimes the history finds the people.”
The commission’s vote was 6-1, with the lone dissent coming from Anne Richardson, chief of the Rappahannock Tribe, who cast her vote for Pocahontas, an iconic figure from the beginning of the first English colony who was one of the other five finalists the commission had in front of it.
“In the time period we’re in when we’re going back and trying to correct history, removing statues … the Native American people who have been left out of everything should have a place in history,” she said.
