Racism Still Exists in Community

Marita Heller

December 3, 2004

 

I congratulate the Post-Bulletin for publishing the story "Holiday glow gets cut." We have to recognize that racism exists in our community before we are motivated to work against it.

Because I do not know any of the parties involved, I, like the Staffords, have to assume that race was a factor in their being singled out. As a citizen of Rochester, I deeply regret that they were treated badly.

It encourages me--and I hope others--to support the efforts of the Rochester Diversity Council to overcome racism in our community.
