Comments
Email testimony from 2005: “I reside in a small town in central ohio. My late grandmother told me of a story that occurred in circa 1915. She said that several black families moved in and almost immediately there was a rash of thefts and break ins. She said a group of local farmers and merchants banded together and drove them out. After that experience she said “niggers” were no longer welcome in town. To this day there are no blacks in this area and it is highly unlikely that this rural community would openly welcome their return.”
