Evendale police reported that mysterious hate symbols had disappeared from a local highway. Responding to a demonstration on an Interstate 75 overpass shortly after 2 p.m., officers noted that the protest took place on sidewalks intended for pedestrian travel. Although deemed highly offensive, the protest was considered lawful and of short duration. The demonstrators voluntarily vacated the area. The overpass location neighbors Lincoln Heights, a historic village recognized as “the first all-Black, self-governing city north of the Mason-Dixon line,” as highlighted by preservationists. Lincoln Heights resident, Kachara Talbert, expressed dismay at the lack of arrests for the demonstrators, criticizing authorities for allowing disrespect towards the community’s heritage. She voiced concern about the presence of what she referred to as “terrorists and racists” in the area. Following the incident involving a group displaying swastika flags, a prayer circle formed on the overpass in Evendale, Ohio. Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval condemned such displays of hate, emphasizing that they had no place in the region. He was appalled by the sight of swastikas and affirmed that it did not align with the values upheld by the community. The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati echoed similar sentiments, expressing deep disturbance over the demonstration. They emphasized their unwavering commitment to combatting antisemitism and all forms of hate through community-building, education, and advocacy. Despite the demonstration, no specific group claimed responsibility for the display of hate symbols.
