Ten-year-old Gavin Alston spoke at Tuesday’s Redmond City Council meeting after a vile incident involving a raccoon that happened a week ago.
A 10-year-old black boy delivered a heartbreaking speech about racism at an Oregon city council meeting, telling the audience that he’s been called the “n-word” and “monkey” by his classmates.
“A lot of people have been calling me the n-word or a monkey, even ‘Black boy,’” Gavin said. “One girl said to me, ‘I would hit you, but that’s called animal abuse.’” He continued: “We should not get treated like this. We should get treated equally. This is not fair to us black people.” Evelyn, a retired cop who was elected to the council in 2021, decried the incident as a hate crime but said he has confidence in the police investigation. As of Friday, no arrests have been made.
When he approached the lectern to deliver his address after waiting in line, the pint-sized speaker could not reach the microphone.
