Several students became aware of hate symbols spray-painted in a stairwell of the Nine apartment building on Aug. 31. Those symbols included a swastika and the letters “KKK.”
Jacquelyn Gesser, a Junior at U of L who lives in The Nine, said that she originally saw the graffiti through pictures sent in her group chat with other students who lived in the same building. She posted the pictures on twitter the night of Aug. 31.
“I felt that it was important to post it on Twitter because I wanted people to know that this hateful rhetoric of racism and anti-Semitism was affecting us right at home,” Gesser said.
