White Man Convicted For Burring a Cross In A Black Family’s Yard
A white man has been convicted of a racist act against a Black family early last summer. The Department of Justice for the Western District of Virginia announced that a Marion man was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for burning a cross in the front yard of Black family in June 2020. 41-year-old James Brown plead guilty this past April to criminal interference with federally protected housing rights based upon the victim’s race.
“When Brown burned a cross in the victim’s front yard, he carried out a despicable act of intimidation, interfered with a federally protected housing right, and broke a serious federal law,” Acting U.S. Attorney Bubar stated in a written statement. “Today’s sentence demonstrates that such threatening acts of hatred will be swiftly investigated and prosecuted. We thank the FBI and state partners for their hard work on this important case.”
During the early morning hours of June 14, 2020, Brown burned a cross on the front yard of a Black family because of the family members put together a protest the day before in Marion, VA. Brown admitted to accessing the front yard and putting the cross on fire. Brown was known to have referred to the family using racial epithets. Once he pleaded guilty, Brown admitted to the crime of burning the cross to threaten and intimidate the family.
