Robert Fuller was found hanging from a tree in Palmdale, Calif., this month. Many are skeptical his death was a suicide. For decades, neo-Nazis and skinheads have been a threat in the area—linked to hate crimes including the firebombing of a Black church.
Protestors spurred by the death of Robert Fuller signal cars who honk in support on a busy street in Palmdale, California.Protestors spurred by the death of Robert Fuller signal cars who honk in support on a busy street in Palmdale, California.The Antelope Valley's decades of entrenched racism have helped fuel the outcry over the death of 24-year-old Robert Fuller, a Black man found hanging from a tree in Palmdale, Calif., earlier this month.
Some call it a lynching. Thousands have poured into Palmdale's streets, at times shutting down traffic. They're demanding an independent investigation by California's attorney general. During one recent march, Aezana Nora — he grew up in Palmdale, is Black, and is around the same age as Fuller — spoke about how Fuller's death affected him.
Nora, 27, remembers being told by white classmates that the KKK was going to get him. He said when he was 12 years old, he was chased out of a restaurant by men with swastika tattoos.
