Snohomish grads document 'What Happened on First Street'
SNOHOMISH — “Too bad he didn’t kill the guy.”
Clips of people hurling insults at those protesting for George Floyd in downtown Snohomish flash one by one.
“Justice for George, really?”
The clips, recorded in late May 2020, are part of “What Happened on First Street,” a documentary created by two former Snohomish School District students who are recent college graduates.
On May 31, 2020, a group of locals — many armed, some waving confederate flags — “hijacked the narrative” of what was supposed to be a night of protest against racism, said Snohomish city council member Judith Kuleta in a 2020 meeting.
Carolyn Yip, Glacier Peak High School alumna, and Drake Wilson, Snohomish High School alumnus, began making the documentary in June 2020.
