Racist Halloween decorations spark outrage in Clinton Hill
Halloween decorations depicting what appeared to be black children hanging from nooses were seen this week in the window of a Clinton Hill home.
The decorations — which have since been removed — were displayed in the window of a home belonging to ArtShack Brooklyn co-owner Dany Rose, across the street from P.S. 11. The imagery consisted of four people made of brown cardboard, two of them with nooses around their necks and another hanging upside-down with a rope tied to their leg.
A picture of the decorations posted to Facebook by a P.S. 11 parent has since gone viral, and was first reported by New York Amsterdam News. In her post, the local mother says she first noticed the offensive decorations when she went to pick her kids up from school on Tuesday.
