AMHERST, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — The Town of Amherst has responded to several reports of letters containing hateful and racist content being left on vehicles around town last week. Amherst Police are investigating the letter, which was signed by an organization referred to as the “advancement of American Civilization,” not a known hate group.
The town acknowledged the harm done by the letters, condemning the statements and acknowledging the disproportionate impact the letter has had on the Black and African American community.
