“Not just brush it under the table”: Potsdam’s Black Lives Matter organizer on changing systemic racism | NCPR News
“Baxtron says while she feels safer living in Potsdam than in Syracuse, racism is alive and well here. “I’ve been called a n*gger, a baboon, and told to go home. We were outside handing flyers out at [a gas station] and some guy went in the store and asked the man ‘Why do you let those baboons stand outside the store?’ That was just a couple days ago.” But she’s hopeful for the future. She says the support shown at the march was a first step.”
