Former US President George H.W. Bush has died at age 94 in Houston, according to his spokesperson. Born into privilege and a tradition of service, Bush was a son of a senator, celebrated World War II combat pilot, student athlete, Texas oilman, Republican congressman, national party chairman, pioneering diplomat and spy chief. After his own 1980 presidential campaign came up short, he served two terms as Ronald Reagan's vice president before reaching the pinnacle of political power by winning the 1988 presidential election.

In a world that seems increasingly divided by ethnic and racial tension, it’s worth remembering those who sought asylum here more than 160 years ago. Imagine you were a Black American parent living in California. Your young daughter was assaulted by a white American. You have no legal recourse; black testimony has become inadmissible in courts of law. Imagine how you’d feel as a high-ranking Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) official, partnered with an Indigenous woman, having your mixed-race children disenfranchised – their rights stripped – in their own home territory of Southern “Old Oregon” (Washington, Oregon and Idaho).
