Day 335: Many things have changed at the Washington State Fair since I last visited it pre-covid. I had hoped to find the Sheep-to-Shawl demonstration in its old location (I never did find it), but the spot now contained this acknowledgement of previous injustices inflicted on a targeted population by the United States government. I do not know if the display is new this year, but its relevance in current times sent chills up my spine. I thought it was quite daring of Fair management to create the exhibit, especially since I felt a certain degree of apprehension that ICE might make a raid on the Fairgrounds where I heard almost as much Spanish being spoken as I did English, and where there were numerous vendors of food and goods from Mexico and South America. History is not kind to those who rule by fear and oppression.
