Share

There’s an investigation into what police are calling racist graffiti at the bowling alley in Galesburg.  Michael Spinks, who is black, says he found ‘Get out,’ and then a racial slur painted on the wall of his skating rink The Skate Palace Sunday morning.  Spinks says he’s trying to restore the rink, and make it a safe place for families.  He says he never expected to find a racial slur on the wall.  Galesburg Police say they are looking into it, and Galesburg mayor yesterday said hate has no place in his city.
