Charlene Lust says she has no doubt that what she saw in a Michigan auto plant in February was a noose.
Seeing the rope hanging in an area where she was coming to help a coworker clean up, Lust said she was overcome by a feeling of sadness.
“I literally almost fainted. I’ve never seen one,” Lust said from her living room on Detroit’s west side this month. “When I saw the noose, I was like stuck.”
She snapped a photo of the rope, which she believes was left as a message to African Americans like her, in the area of the Macomb County plant’s paint shop. It reminded her of the day in 2015 she helped nab a pedophile, an action that garnered her a civilian citation from the local police department.
