A Community in Fear of Another Massacre

March 25, 2017

According to the National Sikh Coalition, Sikh’s are hundreds of times more likely to be victims of hate crimes than their fellow Americans, due in large part to their traditional turbans and long beards. In 2012, a white supremacist shot and killed six members of a Sikh Temple near Milwaukee. And, after the recent shooting of a Sikh man in his driveway in Washington State, a victim who was told to “Go back to your country,” this community fears it could happen again.
