Rochester Magazine: Black in Rochester, Wale join others and shares perspective …Experiencing blatant racism (Part 2)

Rochester Magazine reached out to a number of locals to tell their stories about being Black in Rochester.

Here, in Part II, you'll hear first-hand accounts of being followed through stores, being questioned for walking the halls in the university were you're the president, being screamed at while sitting at a stoplight.

Which is all the more reason why--when you're done watching these short, eye-opening videos--you need to check out Part I, in we asked for a short answer to a complicated question:

"What can we all do in everyday life to help make things better when it comes to the issue of race?"

But first, here are those stories of racism, in clips of a minute or two each.
