Noose Found Hanging From Tree on Duke Campus
A noose was found hanging from a tree on the Duke campus Wednesday morning.
A picture of the noose and statement was posted to the Duke People of Color Caucus Tumblr:
“To all black students, staff, faculty, and/or Durhamites on campus and in the area: Please take care of yourselves and each other. This campus is not a safe space, and has proven beyond any doubt that it is a hostile environment for any and all black people.”
This incident follows a case of racist chanting just two weeks ago, writes the Duke Chronicle. In that case, a black student claimed that white students chanted the same lynching song as the Oklahoma University SAE chapter at her while she was walking on campus.
