Williamstown, MA – Copies of racist and antisemitic flyers have been discovered inside history books at Sawyer library at Williams College.
Officials at the college have posted a sign at the entrance of Sawyer Library alerting library users about the flyers, and asking anyone who finds additional flyers to tell library officials.
The flyers are designed to resemble Confederate States of America currency including images of the Confederate Flag, and a profile of Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. The flyers also include Bible verses and images of the Star of David.
The flyers were discovered in books last week.
Campus security officials have been notified and a bias incident report also filed, according to officials who said library staff are searching the collection and removing flyers when found.
