"I am so grateful to all of you who have donated to my family. I never would have imagined that we would be supported to such an extreme.

"[The NAACP] will be investigating [and] will be responding to this. We will hold this person accountable for this despicable racist act against a child," he said. On Thursday, four DFL lawmakers representing the Rochester area – Sen. Liz Boldon and Reps. Andy Smith, Tina Liebling, and the aforementioned Kim Hicks, issued a statement in response to the video. "We commend the gentleman who recorded the encounter for standing up and protecting one of our youngest community members, a five-year-old boy, from this targeted hate. We condemn these vile acts of racism in the strongest way possible. This disgusting rhetoric has no place in our community, and we’re grateful that a bystander took action and prevented further escalation by the perpetrator," they said. On Thursday, the City of Rochester posted the following statement: "We are aware of a deeply disturbing video recorded at one of our City parks that contains racial slurs.  "The City of Rochester is firmly committed to fostering public spaces that are inclusive, welcoming, and safe for all residents and visitors—spaces where individuals of all backgrounds can relax, play, and connect with friends and neighbors. We remain committed to that goal.

supremacist effort to support the woman the woman had raised $305,200 and increased her goal to $1 million on a website that bills itself as a Christian crowdfunding service The fundraiser purportedly belonging to Shiloh Hendrix had initially sought $20,000 after the video surfaced Wednesday of her spewing racial epithets at a man who intervened on the boy’s behalf The virality of the video has raised shock and concern as Minnesota’s third-largest city deals with yet another racial incident in recent months She repeats the slur to the man behind the camera at one point telling the man the Black child took something from her and her toddler “If he acts like one then he’s going to be called one,” Hendrix could be heard saying in the video Social media commenters have claimed the Black child is around 5 years old and autistic The Minnesota Star Tribune could not independently confirm the identity of the boy Hendrix was identified on social media shortly after the video spread among community pages on Facebook Some commenters cautioned against leaking her private information or “doxxing,” saying it could harm her and her toddler Hendrix says her family has been put into a “dire situation” given the attention the video has drawn Hendrix wrote on the page that the Black boy stole from her 18-month-old’s diaper bag at the park and she “called the kid out for what he was.” “I fear that we must relocate,” Hendrix wrote “I have two small children who do not deserve this One of the many anonymous donors posted with the name “Dylan Roof,” similar to the name of the man who killed nine people at a Black church in South Carolina in 2015 Hendrix thanked donors and said her family had taken precautions against the threats she said she’s received online “It’s such a strange feeling to be living in a blissful dream and a nightmare simultaneously,” she wrote The Star Tribune made several calls to a publicly listed number for Hendrix but received no response The Rochester branch of the NAACP has called on authorities to investigate the incident The group also asked that witnesses and the boy’s family contact the NAACP to gather more information describing the woman’s actions on video as “an intentional racist hateful and verbal attack against a child.” Rochester NAACP President Walé Elegbede said Thursday evening that Hendrix needed to be held accountable for her actions and that is just abhorrent and totally unacceptable,” he said “She needs to face legal consequences for all her actions The Rochester NAACP started its crowdfunding site on Friday with the

have set up for broader antiracist efforts in the community DFL lawmakers in the Rochester area condemned the incident “This disgusting rhetoric has no place in our community and we’re grateful that a bystander took action and prevented further escalation by the perpetrator,” Sen Kim Hicks and Tina Liebling said in a statement This is the latest in a series of high-profile racist incidents in the community over the past year In April 2024, four teens spelled out a racist slur using cups tucked into a chain-link fence on a pedestrian bridge near Century High School The Olmsted County Attorney’s Office declined to charge the teens Last August, Hicks’ home was vandalized with slurs and swastikas A Rochester synagogue was also vandalized that same weekend with similar symbols The case has been forwarded to federal officials for hate-related crimes against a politician Rochester officials and community groups have responded with town hall meetings and programs including an initiative between Mayo Clinic and the NAACP that focuses on community support access Mayor Kim Norton stressed the incidents stem from the actions of a few She also highlighted antiracist initiatives she hopes to see at local events this summer “We can keep standing in solidarity with those who are being marginalized,” Norton said “We will continue to do that in this city because it’s the right thing to do.” More of these incidents are cropping up online worries will hurt the area’s children and young adults “I think that we still haven’t healed completely from all the incidents over the past couple of years,” Crockett said “We need more safe places that not only adults can go to but where kids can go to.” Trey Mewes is a reporter based in Rochester for the Star Tribune.

WDHN - wdhn.com Ala (WDHN) — After six months and counting the Shiloh community feels like the agreement between the state and federal levels has been breached after they have not received an update on implementation projects Shiloh residents were excited and anxious that a fix was near after the state DOT and federal highway administration reached a binding agreement for a flooding mitigation project in October of last year but they say they haven’t heard or seen anything from the state in six months as they are supposed to be receiving updates “I believe there is only one person who was contacted Now it’s frustrating because people are dealing with false hope and promises and now what do you do when they said they told you they are going to be doing this and that but they didn’t hold up their word?” said Shiloh resident The VRA states that the state will submit a progress report detailing the implementation of the agreement’s required actions 180 days after signing and every 180 days thereafter Those actions are to either create a drainage ditch south of the community regrading a detention basin and creating a way water can go in expand drainage ditches or adding a basin in the median residents say the state or FHWA hasn’t addressed the four complaints and are left in the dark about the state’s plan so far and people still haven’t heard from Aldot “We are going to go with this first plan,” and people don’t know what’s going on in the community That’s why I urged them to have a meeting with the community and explain what’s going to happen because you have two plans on the table,” Williams told WDHN utimately over the last seven years and now almost seven months since the agreement they have lost hope and have grown tired of worrying and paying out of their pockets as taxpayers to mitigate running water from the highway they did not create Residents say they have now increased the pressure on the state and federal agencies “The only thing they are saying is they are trying to fulfill the 180 days A daycare was going through the same thing as we are but they didnt wait seven years,” said Williams Williams says he’s been told that whichever migration project is chosen it would be completed in a year he hopes this will threaten the state to speed up and get to work in Elba these are the actual most popular baby names so far in 2025 Whether it’s a

claims to be the white woman in the video As a concerned man at the park recorded the white woman and asked her why she said the N-word to a Black child off camera she responded by putting up her middle finger and repeated the racial slur “Why don’t you have the balls to say it right now again?” the man asks in the clip That’s when the woman responded with profanity and racial slurs: “F**k you The bystander behind the camera was clearly baffled and disgusted by the woman’s behavior as he tried to make sense of what was happening in front of him While the woman claimed that the child took her son’s stuff the man remained stunned by what he was witnessing and informed the woman that her words were hate speech she lashed out with more cursing and mockery “I don’t give a s**t,” she said while walking away from the man Nah 😞 Rochester, MN: Woman holding her child calls an autistic Black child the N-word, as well as the man who records her raised over $250k already 🤔 Who’s supporting this mess? pic.twitter.com/bDwA0L6aGb The NAACP is calling for authorities to bring the appropriate charges against the woman “Let us be clear: this was not simply offensive behavior—it was an intentional racist hateful and verbal attack against a child and it must be treated as such,” the organization said in a statement inclusive spaces for children and families—not sites of hate and trauma The Rochester Branch of the NAACP takes this matter with the utmost seriousness and is committed to pursuing justice and accountability.” The NAACP added that there has been “a disturbing increase in racially motivated attacks across Rochester.” Walé Elegbede said the organization has vowed to fight against hatred and it will continue to seek justice.“Last year I said: ‘Not in our town will children feel unsafe love wins.’ In order for this to be a reality it requires accountability and justice,” Elegbede said “When no one is held accountable for such despicable acts it sends the message that this behavior is acceptable For Black people and all people of color to thrive in Rochester and justice for every member of our community.” As the Minnesota Star Tribune reported that Friday morning a woman who identified herself as Shiloh Hendrix and claims to be the woman in the video raised “$305,200 and increased her goal to $1 million on a website that bills itself as a Christian crowdfunding service.” “The fundraiser purportedly belonging to Shiloh Hendrix had initially sought $20,000 after the video surfaced Wednesday of her spewing racial epithets at a man who intervened on the boy’s behalf.” Hendrix said that her family was put in a “dire situation” after the video made the rounds and said that she “called the kid out for what he was.” “I fear that we must relocate,” Hendrix wrote on the fundraising page and that is just abhorrent and totally unacceptable,” Elegbede told the Star Tribune The Rochester NAACP has now started its own GoFundMe for the child’s family’s “legal support and advocacy efforts.” Get relevant content delivered to you once a week Ready to dive in Select your preferences and get ready for an experience tailored just for you

statutory exception that is “unsupported by the record Opponents of the Koi Nation’s casino-resort project outside Windsor received a boost from a powerful ally Friday when the State of California and Gov Gavin Newsom filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S The suit challenges the agency’s agreement to take land into trust for development of the gaming facility In its request for an injunction, Newsom’s office accuses the Interior Department of circumventing safeguards by using a statutory exception that is “unsupported by the record, dismissive of state sovereignty, and contrary to federal law.” The filing builds on a similar suit filed by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria on Feb. 14 Three other Sonoma County tribes — Lytton Rancheria Dry Creek Rancheria and Cloverdale Rancheria — filed a separate complaint on Feb representing the grassroots organization Our Community Matters filed a declaration in the Graton Rancheria case supporting that tribe’s opposition to the project Coté’s declaration notes that under county zoning requirements the Koi casino would be prohibited in its designated location But if the land is taken into federal trust “ (Our Community Matters) believes that the Project will be devastating to the character environmental quality and fire evacuation risks of our quiet residential community,” Coté wrote “The neighborhood surrounding the Shiloh Site consists of homes The Town of Windsor and the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors have held closed session discussions about joining the list of litigants their opposition has remained verbal rather than legal The State of California’s complaint refers to the “two-part determination” used by the government in taking land into trust a process that requires the Secretary of the Interior to consult with relevant tribal state and local officials to determine that a casino site would not prove detrimental to the surrounding community “But the Secretary is not the sole decision maker on the matter,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta and his staff wrote “If the relevant state’s Governor does not concur in that determination the land will remain ineligible for gaming.” Bonta accuses the Interior Department of circumventing this process “It did not undertake a two-part determination or participate in the required intergovernmental consultation instead the Interior unilaterally took the Shiloh Site into trust under a different provision of federal law — the ‘restored lands’ exception,” he wrote Project opponents have pinned their hopes on the change in presidential administrations the Secretary of the Interior under President Joe Biden approved a number of casino proposals in the final days of Biden’s administration Since Donald Trump’s second inauguration in January Koi foes have urged Trump’s new Interior Secretary That’s exactly what happened in late March when Burgum’s department wrote to another tribe with Lake County ties, the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians, informing them that the federal agency was temporarily rescinding its gaming eligibility determination for a casino proposal in Solano County Interior is now weighing its approval of that site Burgum is listed as a defendant in the state’s lawsuit along with acting Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Scott Davis Director of Indian Education Tony Dearman and Amy Dutschke regional director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs The Koi Nation declined to comment on the newest challenge to their casino-resort, which calls for a 400-room hotel and a 530,000-square-foot gambling floor with 2,750 gaming devices and more than 100 table games on 68 acres in the lightly developed Shiloh neighborhood “We strongly support California Governor Gavin Newsom’s suit challenging the Interior Department’s rushed illegal decision to rubber stamp the Koi Nation’s proposed casino on our sacred tribal lands,” Graton Chair Greg Sarris said in a statement handed down in the Biden administration’s final days clearly violated the federal gaming and environmental laws and deprived the governor of his legal right to be consulted and to decide whether to concur with the proposal.” Sarris emphasized what he framed as a consensus of opinion against the Koi casino and a failure by the federal government to acknowledge it “Unelected Washington bureaucrats steamrolled this project to achieve a predetermined outcome,” Sarris said “Governor Newsom has a sterling reputation in working with tribal nations in California and we are thankful for his engagement on this.” Critics such as Sarris have pointed to the Koi Nation’s ancestral roots on the shores of Clear Lake arguing they lack strong ties to the Shiloh area The Koi have countered that the casino site is along their traditional trading routes and that they built strong ties to Sonoma County in the 20th century You can reach Phil Barber at 707-521-5263 or phil.barber@pressdemocrat.com Portland, ME t:207.477.7004

We got a chance to ask Pastor Williams and Dr. Bullard about their special place at stake, plus their refusal to stand by as it gets waterboarded by the cumulative impacts of climate change and environmental injustice.  Editor’s note: This interview has been edited for length Pastor Williams: The land has been passed down in our family from generation to generation since Reconstruction I’m the fourth-generation owner and I count it as a blessing and an honor they told me Shiloh was a place where a lot of people came to buy their eggs and chickens my family had a farm and sold produce like peanuts and other products to the Coffee County community at large including people from Elba and New Brockton.   one of the cousins decided she would parcel it out and start building homes We were taught that generational wealth is supposed to be passed down but a lot of people don’t have land like the people in Shiloh my great-grandmother and grandfather were able to acquire 240 acres of timberland outside of the city That land has been in our family since 1875 so we are very attached to owning it and making sure it stays in the family for new generations.   In the 1910s and 20s, Black folks owned 16 million acres of land, now it’s down to about 1 million Any threat to disrupt our ownership – like a highway or any other way that land has been lost by Black families – is something that’s worth fighting.  Bullard: The sale of trees off of the timberland my great-grandmother and grandfather acquired was able to send my aunts and uncles and my brothers and sisters to college.  We were able to go to college without the burden of large loans you’re not just talking about property you’re talking about an attachment to something that can be passed on so the next generation doesn’t have to start with zero.  Pastor Williams: Our inheritance is washing away Water comes through the Shiloh community in four ways my basement is full of water by the time I get back home It has started rotting out the walls.  I tell people all the time that ownership is power That’s why it’s very important to hold on to and take care of your property and that’s why we’re fighting like this Bullard: It’s time to get resolution for this particular injustice and it needs to happen soon because this house that Pastor Williams and his family lives in may potentially collapse This problem that was created by the Alabama Department of Transportation is having cascading negative impacts on families in the neighborhood.   but it’s also the fact that flooding has contributed to a leaky roof and sinking house When you turn on your air conditioning or your heat and it causes Pastor Williams’ family to get sick fighting to get the insurance company to cover us and fighting to get ALDOT to pay for the damage but everything points to the fact that this is an injustice that needs to be corrected now.  was elevated and widened in the stretch that runs through a part of the community that used to be flat It made the road higher than the rooftops.  Pastor Williams: Then they turned the drains onto Shiloh’s side of the highway allowing the water to rush in and pretty much push us out A white woman on the other side of the highway didn’t have to go seven years without help like we did Dr. Bullard: If you look at the [Reed Award-winning] ABC News report on Shiloh and the differential between how much was paid for the white family’s property and how much was paid for the Black family’s property There’s one Alabama Department of Transportation About $5,000 was offered to the Black families of Shiloh ALDOT worked with a lawyer to draw up restrictive covenants and we were misled when making these agreements about our properties.  Our property is flooded — our homes are being damaged inside and the land is sinking — and then a restricted covenant is added to our property deeds that basically says we can’t sue them if our properties flood.   the blatant difference between how those three Black families were paid versus the white family is enough to create outrage but there’s also a discrepancy in the speed of solving the problem It’s resolved in a timely manner for one family we’ve been waiting for almost seven years now That’s like pushing us into a corner and saying This is a highway robbery and it has been happening right in front of our eyes ALDOT is using the settlement agreement to insulate themselves from future lawsuits and Pastor Williams wants to pass his land down to his children the restrictive covenant will prevent his children from ever suing over the flooding and damage That means generation after generation will be stuck with flooded property I wrote a book titled Highway Robbery Pastor Williams: We’re going to be in Shiloh for the long haul We’re going to keep fighting and justice will come I do believe that justice is going to come.  Robert Bullard: We’ve been able to take an issue that was invisible for too long from a footnote to a headline.

it was awesome.” A stagnant start offensively saw Devils Lake open in a 9-4 hole Englund and Westin hit threes for Shiloh Christian The Skyhawks led by five after an and-one on the Firebirds’ third team foul in the first few minutes — something they were good about avoiding in Thursday’s win But a three by Palmer sparked some magic into them Max Palmer hit a triple to get Devils Lake within one and Mason Palmer’s second three-pointer of the game gave the Firebirds a 15-13 lead Englund just as swiftly responded with his own go-ahead three — but then back came a locked-in Mason Palmer He hit back-to-back threes to give him four in the quarter “I was feeling it,” Mason Palmer said The final seconds of the period came ticking down six inches of him — found an uncontested lane to the basket and capped the quarter with a thundering two-handed dunk Devils Lake led 23-16 with an 8-0 run to end the first quarter “I was proud of him for kind of putting us on the back a little bit,” D because he kind of kept us in the game that first half Some of that magic wore off in the opening seconds of the second quarter and a three by Westin got Shiloh Christian back within two Nelson made an important put-back after Brodina missed a triple Mason Palmer missed his first three-ball attempt of the second quarter — but right there was Max Palmer all lined up and composed as he landed his second triple of the game Westin’s third three-pointer of the game and second of the quarter sliced into Devils Lake’s lead once again who led the Skyhawks with 16 first-half points made five straight points to trim the gap to 30-29 Devils Lake didn’t capitalize on a key offensive rebound by Fausten Olson then turned it over and allowed Englund to get back down the floor Mason Palmer got another one in from beyond the arc to make it 33-29 But Englund hit his fourth triple of the game — two in each quarter — to keep it a one-point game Devils Lake got the stops it needed down the stretch and clung to a 35-32 lead at halftime A far cry from when the Firebirds beat this team by 28 a couple of months ago “They were more disciplined,” D “And they were just better defensively So we knew it wasn’t gonna be a layover like when they came to play us earlier in the year… They had a lot of confidence I couldn’t believe they had that much confidence.” Palmer’s 21 points led Devils Lake in the first half Second on the team at the half was his twin brother The rest of the team combined for just eight points scored the first six Devils Lake points out of the halftime break “We talked about it halftime; we’re pretty team-oriented but we’ve gotta lean on him to kind of carry us home a little bit,” D because he’s gonna make that extra pass.” Shiloh Christian rapidly tied it up on a basket by Carson Quam and a triple by Triston Griess Nelson found the rim to give Devils Lake the lead back and prevent the Firebirds from trailing for the first time since early in the first quarter Brodina got inside the paint and came up with a massive and-one to give Devils Lake a hint of breathing room then grabbed his own rebound and missed the second chance — but got fouled in the process scoring 10 of Devils Lake’s first 12 points of the half Nelson had another massive move to keep the Firebirds up by multiple possessions Dawson Davis hit a three to cut the lead in half but it was Brodina yet again who padded the Firebirds’ advantage with 2-of-2 free throws and another basket ‘We’ve just gotta get you and Joel going,’” P and then I just kept taking it to the rim and finishing strong at the hoop Devils Lake finished the third quarter on a 9-0 run He went 5-of-6 from the free throw line and shot 7-of-9 from the floor in the period The Firebirds were up 58-46 — seemingly on the precipice of Shiloh Christian scored the first two baskets after the quarter break then got within two possessions after Westin’s fourth triple of the game Devils Lake’s lead was back to as many as six after a Brodina basket after being held blank in the third quarter scored five straight points for the Skyhawks to make it a one-point game in a flash “We’ve been here before,” P this is what we’re built for.” and the defense came up with a huge stop to hold a three-point lead Brodina hit two more free throws down the stretch — greeted with appropriate chants of “Automatic!” from the student section — to put the game away Brodina went 9-of-10 from the line overall — a massive boost that could have swayed the game in the other direction had he not come through A game in which he only had two first-half points turned into one of the best performances he’s had all season we had to fix some things at halftime because they were hitting some shots It turns out that getting a huge half from two players — Palmer in the first and Brodina in the second — is a good recipe to winning a game “I think we really feed off each other,” Palmer said “I just try to create for my teammates But the mission isn’t accomplished yet where it beat Kindred in a battle last year This year’s Vikings squad is the only team seeded ahead of the Firebirds and the only team to beat Devils Lake this season Kindred won a 52-47 battle in Kindred on Feb “We’re looking forward to it,” Palmer said To make the state championship game is great and hopefully we can come out on top.” Kindred beat Thompson 66-53 in the second semifinal game Friday night The championship game is scheduled for roughly 5 p.m and hopefully we can have a show tomorrow night again.” (function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0] j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src= 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
