A small story made big news last week because it was emblematic of a bigger problem in the United States racism.
Miya Ponsetto, a 22-year-old woman visiting New York City and staying at the Arlo Soho hotel, accused a Black teen, also staying in the hotel, of stealing her iPhone. Not only did she accuse him, but she tackled him in the lobby, rifled through his pockets, and screamed, “No, I’m not letting him walk away with my phone,” insisting security arrest him.
The teen’s father happened to be well-established jazz trumpetist, Keyon Harrold, who didn’t take the accusation lightly. He saw it as an attack against his son merely because of his race. He videotaped the encounter and alerted the media.
