MARION, Illinois â More than three dozen people met Monday at the Harry L. Crisp Sports Complex to protest the treatment of a Black Marion High School track athlete by a white female track coach.
The crowd, led by Akeem Petty, a former Marion High School athlete, and Korshawn Johnson, who led Black Lives Matter protests last summer, chanted things like, âBlack students matter!â and âMrs. Baker must go! Â
Track Coach Sara Baker allegedly called a 15-year-old Amari a âBlack barefooted African from the third worldâ on Wednesday afternoon, according to Amari and her family. The Southern Illinoisan is not reporting the athleteâs last name at the family s request because she is a minor.

MARION (WSIL) News 3 is learning more about a Facebook post causing a stir in Marion, and across the region with claims of a coach at the high school making inappropriate comments toward a student who is black.
According to the family, the coach of the girl s track team made a racial slur toward their loved one, who is a sophomore and member of the team. They claim the incident took place on Wednesday, and the coach laughed while making the remark in front of other teammates.
Two days later, a meeting supposedly took place between school officials, the coach and the family where the coach apologized, but then demanded the student-athlete turn in her uniform.
