Cincinnati St\, Spokane\, WA\nRegistrationComing soonEmail brcspokane@gmail.com\n\nWhat Restorative Justice Means for Spokane\nRestorative justice asks a different question than the traditional legal system. Instead of focusing only on what rule was broken and what punishment fits\, it asks who was harmed\, what they need and how the people involved can repair the damage together. Practices like talking circles bring people face to face to share their concerns and their hopes\, and many of those practices come from Indigenous traditions that have guided communities for generations. \nBuilding Restorative Communities is the Spokane NAACP initiative that brings this work to neighborhoods across the city. Over the past year it has hosted community circles\, book conversations on restorative justice and documentary screenings at Spokane libraries and community spaces. The Building Restorative Communities Gathering 2026 is its largest event yet\, bringing those threads together over a Friday evening and a full Saturday. \nSave the Date: November 13 and 14 \nRegistration details are coming soon. Email Building Restorative Communities to get on the list for updates. \nEmail for Details\nNAACP Spokane\nTwo Ways to Take Part\nThe Friday evening session of the Building Restorative Communities Gathering 2026 runs from 5:30 to 8:30 PM and the Saturday session runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM\, both at Gonzaga University School of Law. The organizers invite guests to attend one or both. Friday is a natural fit for anyone who works during the day\, and Saturday offers a full day to go deeper into the practices. \nWhat to Expect at the Building Restorative Communities Gathering 2026\n\nCommunityTime to meet neighbors\, advocates and practitioners working on restorative justice in Spokane.\nDeeper relationshipsCircle practices that help people listen\, share and build trust across differences.\nHealingSpace to reflect on harm in our communities and what repair can look like.\nRestorative justice in practiceA closer look at how restorative approaches work in schools\, neighborhoods and the justice system.\nIndigenous rootsApplications of restorative practice rooted in Indigenous culture and teaching.\n\nPartners and Hosts\nRegistration details coming soon \nThis is a save-the-date for the Building Restorative Communities Gathering 2026.

Presented by the Seattle King County NAACP\, the evening honors a couple whose 72-year partnership shaped civil rights in Seattle and King County. December 3 would have been Lacy Steele’s 95th birthday.

That same year they joined First AME Church\, and for the next six decades they built church\, community and the NAACP side by side. Lacy Steele passed away on May 20\, 2025\, and Dorothy Steele on July 24\, 2025. The Tribute to Dorothy and Lacy Steele gathers the community they served to remember them and to recommit to the work they started. \nLacy Steele led the Seattle NAACP Branch for 26 years\, from 1972 to 1998\, and served on the NAACP National Board for more than 18 years. He led the desegregation of Seattle Public Schools without a court battle\, was instrumental in naming Martin Luther King Jr. Way\, and helped rename King County for Dr. King. A Korean War Army sergeant\, he became the first African American manager of Boeing’s Defense and Space Group Quality Organization. Dorothy Steele\, an NAACP Golden Heritage Life Member\, gave 35 years to Boeing\, served her church for decades\, helped found The Benefit Guild\, and spent 26 years as Lacy’s unofficial NAACP secretary. \nFree Admission.

That work grew from her partnership with Lacy Steele\, who championed ACT-SO locally and nationally. The evening recognizes the generations of young scholars and leaders that partnership produced\, and it introduces the Carolyn Riley Payne ACT-SO Legacy Award so the work continues with the next generation of students. \nRegistration is required \nAdmission and dinner at the Tribute to Dorothy and Lacy Steele are free\, but every guest needs to register in advance at carryingthelegacy.pplx.app so the committee can plan seating and meals. \n\nThe program is presented by the Seattle King County NAACP Religious Affairs Committee\, with Rev. Dr. Linda Smith serving as program coordinator. Families are encouraged to bring young people\, so the next generation can learn the civil rights history of their own city from the people who lived it. Dorothy and Lacy Steele are survived by their daughter\, Marche Deon Steele Heath\, and by a community that carries their work forward. \nWhy the Tribute to Dorothy and Lacy Steele Matters to NAACP AOWSAC\nThe NAACP Alaska Oregon Washington State Area Conference shares this event because the Steeles’ work is the foundation the region still stands on. School desegregation\, voter registration\, and a county named for Dr. King did not happen by accident. They happened because people like Dorothy and Lacy Steele showed up for decades. The Tribute to Dorothy and Lacy Steele is a chance to honor that history and to ask what each of us will carry forward.
