Majority-Black Town in Ohio Launches Armed Watch after Neo-#Nazi, #Klan Provocations

from #WorldOutlook
February 28, 2025

"On February 7, about a dozen masked men, some of them carrying AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, drove a U-Haul truck to a freeway overpass at Lincoln Heights’ edge. The men, dressed in black, shouted racist slurs and waived black flags with red swastikas on them. Enraged Lincoln Heights residents soon approached to counter protest. Local police who converged on the scene from the nearby town of #Evandale, across the highway, appeared cordial toward some of the white supremacists. As the crowd of Lincoln Heights residents swelled, the ultra rightists got back on their truck and drove off. Counter protesters burned the Nazi flags left behind."

World-Outlook · Majority-Black Town in Ohio Launches Armed Watch after Neo-Nazi, Klan ProvocationsThis article reports on efforts by residents of Lincoln Heights, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, to defend themselves against provocations by neo-Nazi thugs and Ku Klux Klansmen by organizing counter-mobilizations and an armed watch. Nearly 83% of the town’s approximately 3,000 residents are African American. Lincoln Heights was the first self-governing Black community to be founded north of the Mason-Dixon line, which divided the Union from the Confederate South during the U.S. civil war.

"Lincoln Heights expanding 'movement' to become self-sufficient in response to neo-Nazi rally

The jubilant prayers, soulful singing and organ-backed testimonials at Thursday evening's Voices of the Valley meeting in Lincoln Heights could have fooled unaware visitors that the service was a regular church service.

The armed men wearing bullet-proof vests walking the back walls and surrounding the building, however, dispelled that idea.

The men were part of the Lincoln Heights Watch, who've walked the streets of the village for nearly three weeks after a white supremacist rally just outside of town on Feb. 7. Tonight, they were at the Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church Wednesday to protect the meeting."

The Students Walk Out in
A Report from the Streets

, 2025-02-13

"In the opening weeks of Donald ’s second presidency, some of the fiercest expressions of defiance have come from the communities that Trump is threatening to attack. In Los Angeles, students have engaged in weeks of walkouts and other protests against the mass deportations Trump promised. In , the historically Black community responded to a rally by chasing off the , burning their flags, and conducting an armed watch lest they attempt to return.

"Both of these communities draw on deep roots of resistance. The students in Los Angeles are walking out in the footsteps of previous student rebels, including those who participated in the historic protests of 2006 against the repression of the undocumented. People in Cincinnati rose in rebellion in 2001 against police violence, foreshadowing the movement that got underway in response to the murder of Oscar Grant in 2008 and arrived on the world stage in 2014 with the uprising in . In continuing these legacies, today’s protesters show how difficult it will be for Donald Trump, , and other to control the population of this continent. They also point the way for others who are still trying to figure out how to defend themselves against the new regime.
