Racist Letters Sent to Black-Owned Businesses
Barbershop owner Carl Sylvain, along with other Black businesses have been receiving the same racist letters in the mail: “To whom it may concern, we in the Snellville community want it to be known we don't want anymore 'n-word' businesses in our community. We want gravity, celeb barbershop and boot camp gone. Too many 'n-word' businesses... We will not support them.”
Celeb Styles Barbershop has been in the community for only eight months and has already done a charity event giving away 200 free haircuts, school supplies, and 500 backpacks. Everyone is a repeat customer.
The business owners have filed a police report, but were told there is not enough evidence since the letters were sent by mail.
