Yesterday, the Ohio Civil Rights Commission confirmed reports that the UPS center in Maumee, Ohio had two nooses that were routinely hung at work. The report concluded that the UPS hub has been "permeated" with racially charged comments and incidents since 2013 to include displays of Confederate flags, racially offensive text messages and hostile comments.
In the past month, here are new reports of noose sightings:
A college football coach at East Tennessee State University was arrested this past weekend after he threatened to kill, beat, and hang a hotel clerk "from a noose" because his room key card didn't work.
For the third time in a year, a noose was found hanging last week from a lamp post near the Smithsonian Museum on African-American History and Culture.
On June 8th, a teddy bear was found hung with a noose at a North Carolina high school.
On June 7th, a 15 year-old student at a charter school found a picture of herself with a noose around her neck.
On June 3rd, a noose was found hanging at a construction site near an elementary school in Washington, D.C.
A noose hung in the Port of Oakland sparked a walkout by workers on May 25th.
