Since April 27, a total of eight nooses have been discovered at the construction site of an Amazon warehouse in Windsor. While Amazon and the companies it s hired to build the massive fulfilment site try to find out who’s responsible for placing the nooses, local Black social justice leaders are criticizing the e-commerce giant’s efforts.
This symbol of hate stresses Keren Prescott out. It reminds her of lynchings, like ones preceding an event that happened 100 years ago this week: the Tulsa massacre.
“Many of our brothers and sisters hung from nooses like the ones that were left here at Amazon,” Prescott said.
