The Coalition for an Anti-Racist Glendale asked the city to pass a resolution to confront it’s history.

“It’s justice. And in God’s eyes justice is the most beloved thing,” said Carol McGrath, a coalition member who has lived in Glendale for 17 years.

McGrath, a Black woman, has experienced racism as a Glendale resident as recently as two years ago when she was walking to the grocery store.

“I was walking past Wilson and Jackson and some young people yelled out, ‘You better get off the street lady it’s after sundown,” McGrath recalled.

There was a reason my parents never looked for a house in the Glendale/Pasadena area. White as a Currier-Ives snowscape.
