MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – After Sophia Rashid, a Muslim woman, was harassed by a White Supremacist motorcycle club in Stillwater, the community turned out to support her and convey their message: “hate is not welcome here.”
The community came together to discuss plans to move forward after the racist incident, and to show how hate groups have no place in Stillwater.
