Winston-Salem Journal Editorial Board Calls Out Racist and Hateful Acts That Have Impacted the Community in Recent WeeksAn editorial published by the Winston-Salem Journal brought further attention to "two recent incidents of hateful threats directed toward minority communities in Winston-Salem serve as reminders that racism and other forms of hatred still poison minds today — and may be backed by physical attacks."
ADL Washington, D.C. Regional Director was quoted commenting on the targeted white supremacist fliering of Temple Emanuel, “Unfortunately, we have seen a very substantial increase of the use of propaganda and literature to create intimidation and fear. In the environment that we are experiencing right now, with incidents of active violence in houses of worship, it is very prudent of the synagogue to have been communicating the facts and for law enforcement to be aware.”

Regional Director Doron Ezickson Discusses Hate Crimes in Maryland with the Baltimore SunMaryland law enforcement agencies reported 375 hate or bias incidents in 2018 — down about 6% from 398 in 2017.
“While last year saw a slight drop in bias related incidents, the numbers remain alarmingly high," said Doron Ezickson, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, which has tracked anti-Semitic incidents since 1979." If there is a silver lining in all of this, it is that people are feeling empowered to report when they are victims of or witness to hate, which we must continue to encourage.”
