St. Thomas University is honoring an alumnus for taking action against anti-Semitic graffiti in his neighborhood.
Anthony Barroso saw white paint spelling out “Beware the Jews” on a fence near his home in Southwest Miami as he was driving to work last week.
“It was disgust, you know. I was on the phone with my girlfriend at the time and we were just talking about what our days were going to be and seeing that, you know, really bothered me. But yeah, going through the day it just kept bothering me and bothering me, so I just felt like we should do something about it.”
