Black Lives Matter sign taken from yard
by Erin Marie Williams 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hello neighbors, Someone seems to have taken our Black Lives Matter sign from our yard. They left the “we’re glad you’re our neighbor” sign, however. I’m wondering whether other people have had any signs removed? We noticed it missing Wednesday, August 8th in the afternoon. I’ll just put up a new one, and one after that, and one after that, and so on, if need be. Black lives do, after all, matter, and I’ll continue to proclaim it until we can all realize this simple truth.
