Some 50 plus years after the beginning of King’s work as a civil rights advocate, we as a country still struggle with many of the same issues he fought against. This past election was the first presidential election in 50 years without full protections of the Voting Rights Act, and saw some of the most widespread voter suppression since the early 20th century. In Georgia, where King was born, this past election is a prime ex- ample of the different tactics many Republican-led states employ to try to undermine the black vote. Republican Brian Kemp, who at the time was the state’s secretary of state, put in new rules and policies that targeted many of the black people who were voting, and made their ballots invalid. This one issue shows the true problem of true equality in America - the power structure in many places in the country is very white, and this is an example of how they use that leverage to keep it that way. This is also just a very ironic story. The first possible black female governor in the United States, in King’s home state, was unable to reach that office due to voter suppression that was put there by her white opponent. The issues that King was fighting for and was killed for are not only still present but are still having a detrimental impact on black communities in America.

After dismantling last-place Grays Harbor last Wednesday, the Highline men’s basketball team got dominated by No. 1 Green River and will look to get past .500 this week. On Wednesday, Jan. 16, the Thunderbirds blew out Grays Harbor in Aberdeen, 80-60. Guard-forward David Har- ris’ 18 points (6-13 from the field, 4-4 from the free throw line) led the team, although he did finish with 6 turnovers. In addition, guard Mahlik Hall filled up the box score to the tune of 14 points (3-6 from the field, 7-8 from the free throw line), 7 rebounds, 4 as- sists, and 2 steals. Not only did the T-Birds play with more hustle and energy, as illustrated in the rebound- ing advantage (41-28), they also played ferociously on the defen- sive side of the ball. The ‘Birds stifling perimeter defense completely shut-down Grays Harbor’s three-point at- tack, holding them to an awful 0 percent from downtown (0-15). “The three ball is not a big part of their offensive arsenal.

On Saturday, Jan. 19 at 4 p.m., Highline got demolished by Green River, 73-52. “Green River was locked in from the start. They had a differ- ent level of intensity than we did. We also did not attack their de- fense very intelligently. That was my fault,” said Dawson. Leading scorer Harris once again led the charge for Highline, dropping 20 points (5-15 from the field, 9-12 from the free throw line) and securing 8 rebounds, 4 offensive and 4 defensive. The only other player who scored in double digits for Highline was forward Noah Harper, who scored 10 points (5-11 from the field) and col- lected 4 rebounds. Overall, Highline struggled mightily with putting the ball in the basket. They finished with an abys- mal 31.1 percent from the floor (19-61), 23.5 percent (4-17) from the three-point line, and 58.8 percent (10-17) from the free Page 8 SPORTS | Highline College | January 24, 2019
