Laura Myers
Resident of Ladoga, IN

Laura Myers had three crosses burned in her yard in June of 2003.  She was not frightened, but angry.  Neighbors believe that the cross burnings occurred because Ms. Myers was living with an African American man and their child.  Myers’ daughter, Michelle, believes that the three crosses were meant to represent the three African Americans that live in the small town of 1,000.  She believes that racism is prevalent and evident in Ladoga.
