Another sign in the photo is one inside the window of Percy's Cafe which was read by Elizabeth Peratrovich as she walked to the Capital to testify in defense of Native Rights. The sign she saw that day read "No Dogs or Indians". I know this is long past but it is a very real part of our history.
Street
Look how wide the street looks and two lane traffic even.....
