Black & White Alabama neighbors team up when stalker strikes
Updated 10:43 AM;
Eva Wilson is a Black woman stalked by a racist who creeps into her Huntsville yard at night in a mask and a hoodie. Madelyne McNab is the white neighbor next door trying to help her.
The two have become friends over their long, shared fight against what they say has been a sluggish police response to a stalker who leaves things on Wilson’s car like toy monkeys wearing nooses. The police are doing better now, they say.
Wilson and McNab live in Merrimack Village, a neighborhood built in the early 1900′s for workers of the Merrimack cotton mill. Streets there are named in alphabetical order starting with Alpine, and the big house for the mill boss still sits at the center of the neighborhood.
