Creighton Prof Asked to Apologize for Calling an Omaha White Supremacist Rally a White Supremacist Rally


When Zachary Smith saw the news that there would be a “Back the Blue” rally in Omaha on Saturday morning he joined many online in feeling that such a rally couldn’t be separated by the racist actions of the Omaha Police Department, which have a deep past and have been on full display this last month.
