“I just had to come down and do something. This country is in trouble,” said Dell Charity, a 37-year-resident of Hood River, who stood downtown Friday afternoon in an impromptu protest. “I was at home watching the news about all the violence and trouble, and I told my wife, Evelyn, ‘I’ll be out in the shop making a sign and I’m going downtown.’ Things are bad in Charlotte and places, but people need to know that in Hood River things are not always easy for the few of us blacks who live around here.” Charity stood at Oak and Second for several hours, saying verbal reactions were positive, while noting that drivers mostly avoided looking at him, while others honked and gave him the thumb’s up. “Thank you,” shouted one woman. A man walked past, patting Charity on the shoulder, saying, “This white man is ashamed, too.”
