NIAGARA FALLS—Two days after a man was sentenced to probation and community
service for putting up a sign as a “joke” in a public works garage that said
“whites only” on a drinking fountain, city police were called to a home in
the 600 block of 25th Street on Sunday to investigate another racially
charged sign.

This one was clearly no joke.

No charges were filed Sunday, but police told the woman she must take down
the handwritten sign on a fence on her property saying, “I rent three
bedrooms [at her address to] white people Niagara Falls.”

The 53-year-old woman told police she put up the sign after someone tried to
break into her house and added, “I can do what I want. I live in America,”
according to a police report.

Police said they received complaints and she must take the sign down. An
officer at the scene said the woman agreed to take down the sign under
protest. The officer said the woman already had seven more signs she was
planning to hang up.
