There was a large turnout of people on Saturday, June 6, 2020, for a West Seattle Demonstration affirming Black Lives Matter. Here is the video, posted on YouTube, by her mother Ruth Kerr of Ericka Kerr, a student from Louisa Boren STEM K-8, who read her poem, “Monsters, Criminals and Liars” from the improvised stage of the roof of Easy Street Records proprietor Matt Vaughan‘s iconic black van. You can read her poem here.

So you can see the context in which she read her poem, we includ some photos from the West Seattle Demonstration, thanks to the West Seattle Blog.
