An Evanston group held a protest after nooses were found outside Haven Middle School.
As children arrived at Haven Middle School Monday morning, Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change were chanting their message, wanting to know what is being done about an act of hate that took place here over a week ago.
The violence prevention group along with some parents said they're outraged over the silence from school officials, Evanston police and Mayor Daniel Biss. The nooses were found hours after students staged a sit-in to protest the school district's decision to transfer some teachers to different schools.Parent Ralph Edwards came to join the protest.
Edwards' 11-year-old son, Dumah is a 6th grader at Haven. He said he has been experiencing hate speech and some kids have even called the incident a joke.
