Comments

Several emails from one user in 2015 and 2016:
“Lodi = reputed to be the epicenter of Medina county’s KKK…Even today the Lodi area is much more than a sun down town. Some say they’ll go after you in daylight.”

Email from 2015:
“65-year-old librarian in Chicago grew up in Lodi, remembers when “they drew our school district to avoid blacks,” even when “they” forced other districts around there to integrate.”
