WOOSTER Amid the car horns and calls of support, a black pickup roared down East Liberty Street.
A man wearing a sleeveless shirt leaned out of the window with outstretched arms and middle fingers raised. Get a real job! he yelled as the truck drove by the 18 Black Lives Matter protesters downtown. We love you, too! responded one woman holding a Black Lives Matter sign. Another yelled, Thank you! It s the best way to respond to hate, said Ruth Sewell, a demonstrator at Wooster s daily protests.
