Evergreen to host panel on racial inequality

The Evergreen State College will host a panel discussion from 1:15 to 3 p.m. Wednesday about racial inequality in American society, particularly in the legal system.

The event, which is free and open to the public, “will include discussion of the recent police shootings in Olympia,” according to a news release from the college.

“Although the topic of the panel is a national issue, the primary focus of this event is on local communities and how people can get involved in finding solutions,” Evergreen spokeswoman Meryl Lipman said.

The event will take place in the lobby of the Daniel J. Evans Library on the campus at 2700 Evergreen Parkway NW, Olympia.
