Yesterday, Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) spoke on the U.S. Senator floor to honor the life and memory of Rev. Dr. Samuel McKinney. Dr. McKinney has made a lasting impact on Seattle, Washington state and our country. For more than 50 years, according to Cantwell, Dr. McKinney never gave up the fight advocating for economic and social justice in Seattle and throughout our nation. Refusing to yield to deep-seated prejudice and threats of violence, Dr. McKinney was a visionary civil rights leader, a pillar of Seattle civic life, and a moral consciousness of our community.
