A crowd of protesters and activists gathered Saturday at Biglerville High School to draw attention to the numerous claims of unaddressed racism and discrimination within the school district, stretching back over decades, that have surfaced on social media.
The event was coordinated by students, alumni, community members and other activists in response to the online complaints.
“We’re out here because there has been a disconnect between the Upper Adams School District and the administration, and this particular victims group,” said LaRock Hudson, one of the event organizers. “A vast majority of the accounts are either racially or gender motivated.”

Dozens of people marched from Biglerville High School to Main Street and back to demand accountability for what they say is decades of racially motivated abuse at Biglerville schools.
The protesters stopped at the 7/11 intersection, carrying signs that read stop the abuse and yelled out No justice, no peace, among other slogans.
The purpose of the rally was to raise awareness and share the stories of the students and alumni who have experienced racism at Biglerville schools, said Larock Hudson, one of the organizers of the rally. We felt as if though with the explosion of the social media pages and the response from the school district not willing to center the victims’ voices.. we thought to take a different approach, Hudson said.
