A billboard attacking Jussie Smollett, John Lewis and Maxine Waters causes outrage in Pa town
By Kia Morgan-Smith -March 7, 2019

A billboard featuring a number of Black political figures in compromising ads is causing major concerns in one Pennsylvania town.

Many are outraged saying that John Placek, who owns the billboard, is inciting racism and hate through his digital billboard displays, WPXI reports.

The changing screens feature several controversial messages along Route 422, outside Worthington, Pa which includes Reps. John Lewis, Maxine Waters, and even Jussie Smollett.

. . .

Another message calls Lewis and Waters “black racists.” yet another says “Whites have rights.”
