SMITHFIELD – A second community meeting on racism will focus on the perspectives of youth and their experiences with racism and bullying in Smithfield, opening up a broader conversation about coming together and moving forward as a community after the discovery of racist graffiti graffiti two months ago.
Led by the Smithfield Youth Council, the forum is scheduled for Wednesday, March 10. Youth say they plan to further discuss plans for paintings to replace the graffiti.
Town Council President Suzy Alba met with the Youth Council following the discovery of racist comments on the pilings of the Route 116 overpass on the Scenic Stillwater Trail. She said the forum will focus on unity and tolerance around issues of race and equity and the youth response to the issues.

SMITHFIELD – At the first of many planned community conversations about racism and prejudice in Smithfield last week, parents said the town and its schools have an ongoing pattern of sweeping racist incidents under the rug, often allowing abuse to go unpunished.
More than 120 residents connected to the virtual meeting, discussing racist incidents. Last Wednesday’s forum stemmed from resident Kim Ziegelmayer’s discovery of racist graffiti on concrete pilings under Route 116 on the Scenic Stillwater Trail in January. Three Smithfield youths were subsequently arrested related to that graffiti and referred to the Juvenile Hearing Board.
Ziegelmayer has since founded the Smithfield Anti-Hate Coalition on Facebook, inviting residents to respectfully but firmly keep pressure on town leaders to respond to this incident but also to work to combat racism and all types of hate and intolerance in town.
