Racist graffiti painted in a Missouri high school bathroom sparked a student walkout last week, but now the school district revealed that the perpetrator was a black student.
Racist graffiti was spray-painted in the boys' bathroom at Parkway Central High School in suburban St. Louis on Sept. 22. The graffiti said, "HOPE ALL BLACK PEOPLE DIE," and also used the N-word.
The racist graffiti ignited a mass walkout a day later by over 1,000 students and faculty from high schools in the district, KMOV reported. The participants of the walkout demanded "change."
"I'm sitting in that building, shaking in fear because I don't know what's going to happen to me because of my skin tone," a student said at the demonstration. "We need change in this building and we don't need it then, we need it now.
