Hashtag Hate | CRS Responds to Noose Incident at Denfeld High School

A group of students at Denfeld High School in Duluth, MN circulated a picture on Snapchat of a black student with a noose around his neck and the caption “Gotta hang ‘em all.”  The image spread and sparked significant community tensions given the city’s history of a particularly gruesome lynching of three black men in 1920.  CRS was asked to conduct a Student Problem Identification and Resolution of Issues Together (SPIRIT) program for the student body.
