'You will not win' Community responds after group displays Nazi symbols on I-75 overpass [View all]

WCPO

LINCOLN HEIGHTS, Ohio — After roughly a dozen people displayed swastika-emblazoned flags on an overpass over I-75 near Lincoln Heights and Evendale, residents who live nearby say hate has no place in their communities.

"You will not win," said Julian Cook, a pastor in Lincoln Heights. "You will not win. You may try, but we have a history of being able to push past these things, as difficult as they may be. You will not win."

The people with the flags could be seen on traffic cameras displaying around six black flags with a bright red swastika in the middle. The people displaying the flags appeared to be dressed in all black clothing, including black balaclavas and red face masks.

"My message to the people that's spreading hate, what do you get out of it because God said love all," said Charlene Evans, who lives nearby. "Love all. In this community, we got every race. So we love all."
