On Wednesday (Jun 24), Althea Bernstein, a Black woman in Madison, Wisconsin, sustained second and third-degree burns after she was allegedly set on fire by white men yelling racial slurs while at a stoplight.
Bernstein says the men who attacked her “looked like classic Wisconsin frat boys,” with two of them “wearing jeans and a floral shirt.”
Local publication, Madison 365, reports that “far-right counter-protesters have attended and disrupted Black Lives Matter protests wearing Hawaiian-style floral shirts.”
The attack occurred as Black Lives Matter protests were winding down in Madison, though Bernstein had not been participating in the event.
