The Greater Hartford NAACP announced Thursday that a seventh noose was found at an Amazon construction site in Windsor.
“These forms of hate crimes,” the organization said in a news release, “have had a detrimental stain on the current state of America’s reality and for them to hit so close to home and with such consistency shows a robust disrespect for the not only human decency but also for our ancestors who lost their lives due to the hate represented within the knots in those ropes.”
The first noose at the site near Kennedy Road was found and reported on April 27, followed by reports of five more ropes that looked similar to a noose.
