Yesterday, GAB Founder, Linda Lee participated in a conversation held by activist Tracy Dent in response to an event that happened last week. Several letters had been mailed out to individuals with the them of “Keep Wauwatosa White.”<\/p>\n

This a brief segment of the article done on the event:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A letter asking Wauwatosa residents to “keep Wauwatosa white” showed up in mailboxes last week.<\/p>\n

Police are now investigating where the hate mail came from, and the mayor and community activists are outraged.<\/p>\n

“Dear white Wauwatosa resident” is how the letter starts and continues to say, “We whites must stand together. We must keep Wauwatosa free from blacks.”<\/p>\n

Four people near 102nd and Melvina streets got the same letter in the mail last week.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

\u201cYou must have been pretty shocked to get a letter like this?\u201d Hillary Mintz asked a woman who received it.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, we’re not racist,\u201d said the woman, who did not want to be identified.<\/p>\n

She said she and her neighbors got the letter after displaying the same yard sign that reads: “For sale unless politicians keep Tosa safe.”<\/p>\n

“What was your reaction when you read it” Mintz asked a man who had put out a sign.<\/p>\n

“The one thing I would say is the signs were purely about safety,” Dana Fritz said<\/p>\n

Fritz said he put his sign out to get city leaders’ attention about crime in the area.<\/p>\n
