A Black Michigan woman is speaking out after a Grosse Point man hung a KKK flag in a window that faces her home on Feb. 16.
Je Donna Dinges told Fox 2 News Detroit she called state and federal authorities when she noticed her neighbor had hung a KKK flag in the window facing her home.
“I said, I know there’s not a Klan sign in the window next door,” said 57-year-old Dinges, who owns a Ferndale clothing boutique. “And I opened the curtains and I looked and sure enough, there was a Klan sign in the window next door.”
Dinges shared an image of the flag, which bear the words “Ku Klux Klan, Invisible Empire” on Facebook. She said she has had issues with her neighbors since she moved into the community 11 years ago.

DETROIT – A man suspected of being involved in an armed robbery that happened Jan. 28 at a gas station in the 10000 block of West Seven Mile in Detroit is in custody and facing charges for a separate incident, police say.
In video footage released by police you can see the suspect approach a 53-year-old man and pull a gun out of the victim’s pocket while another person stood watching outside the door. After taking the victim’s gun he pulled out a different weapon and pointed it at the man before fleeing the scene.

“I said, I know there’s not a klan sign in the window next door,” Dinges told FOX 2. “And I opened the curtains, and I looked, and sure enough, there was a klan sign in the window next door.”
