Family returns
after harassing
United Press International
BATON ROUGE, La. — Neigh
borhood animosity forced a black
family from its home in a newly inte
grated subdivision, but action by
public officials and public sympathy
brought them back.
“I decided to come back for a num
ber of reasons,” said Walter Scott,
who vacated his East Ridgewood
home March 23 after shotgun blasts
damaged his rear door and cars.
The Scotts were back in the dwell
ing Tuesday.
“It’s home,” Scott said. “I’ve got a
job here and they’ve caught some
body. A lot of my other reasons are
personal. ”
He said the support he received
from those callers was an added in
centive for him to remain.
Scott, a supervisor on a nuclear
power plant construction project in
nearby St. Francisville, said news of
the harassment against his family and
other black residents of the East
Ridgewood neighborhood resulted
in numerous encouraging telephone
calls.
The Scotts were the first blacks to
settle in East Ridgewood last De
cember. Two other black families fol
lowed them, and then the harass
ment began.
First they were subjected to eggs
and painted racial slogans on their
homes. But the trouble progressed
to tire slashings and shotgun blasts.
The rear door of the Scott home
and two of Scott’s cars were damagecf
by gunfire March 23. The shooting
prompted Scott to leave and declare
he would not return.
Sheriffs deputies made two
arrests in connection with the milder
harassment cases four days later.
Carl Perry, 34, and his wife, Betty,
30, were accused of encouraging
youths to deface the Scotts’ home.
The Perrys were charged with
contributing to the delinquency of a
juvenile and simple criminal
damage.
Delores Thomas, another black
resident, said she would stay in East
Ridgewood despite the trouble.
“I’m not going anywhere,” she
said. “I’m going to be staying here.
The Scott and Thomas families
said there had been no incidents of
harassment since the March 23
shootings occurred and the situation
was publicized.
