Now, an alderman is taking the issue into her own hands.
A noose went up as part of Halloween decorations at a home in the 5800 block of South Artesian in theChicago Ald. Stephanie Coleman was called about the issue days ago, and that's when the city showed up to give the renter a chance to remove it, or they would take it down. The people renting the home thought it was a joke, so they left the nooses hanging from a tree for 70 days.There were no complaints until three days ago when a family moved in next door and wanted the racist symbols to come down."Here we are just days away from celebrating Dr. King's birthday, but we have this ugly reminder of the racist past. But I won't stand for this in the 16th ward. It ends today," said Ald. Coleman.
