A Black Woman's Maryland Home was Vandalized on MLK Day With "N----- Go Home"

On the day set aside to celebrate the achievements and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King,  a woman in Chevy Chase, Maryland had her home vandalized with the words "Nigger Go Home" in red spray paint.

According to NBC Washington, Montgomery County police say a neighbor alerted the homeowner of the graffiti on the garage door. The woman and her family had been living in the home for a little more than a week before the incident occurred.

The Daily Mail noted that Chevy Chase is one of the most affluent towns in the United States with a median income of $250,000.

A similar incident happened to a 70-year-old woman in Alabama on New Year's Eve.
