Two days after Kenneth Walker, a New York town’s only Black firefighter, received a racially charged and threatening letter, his apartment where he lived with his wife and two children was set on fire and destroyed.
“If it can happen to me, it can happen to somebody else,” Walker, 28, told WKBW. “That was everything that we owned, and we pretty much have to start all over.”
Walker is a firefighter with the Gratwick Hose Volunteer Fire Company in North Tonawanda, which is located in the New York Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area.
