Danbury, CT-  Police in Danbury are investigating a series of incidents in which swastikas were inscribed on homes, business and private property, as recently as this past weekend, November 12-13.   The neighborhood is described as ethnically diverse, and one of the targets was a Catholic Charities location.









Danbury is not unfamiliar with racial prejudice or white supremacists.     The Ku Klux Klan maintained a presence there in the 1980s after a resident, black science teacher, Dimples Armstrong, wrote a teacher's handbook on the KKK.   Race riots in the still largely segregated high school broke out, and the KKK publicly burned crosses on lawns.


While those white supremacists may have been shamed into the shadows in the intervening 30 years, it is clear that they feel empowered to once again step into the forefront of American consciousness.
