The program is named after Sandy Williams, a civil rights activist and journalism entrepreneur who worked to reconnect her Spokane neighborhood after the construction of I-90 split it in half. She died in a plane crash on Sept. 5, 2022, while making her way back to Spokane from vacation.

On Tuesday, several hundred people came to honor Sandy Williams’ 61 years on earth for her celebration of life event hosted by the Carl Maxey Center at the First Interstate Center of the Arts.
