ZACHARY — The Baton Rouge branch of the NAACP is joining community members and activists on Monday as a lawyer addresses a recently filed civil lawsuit stemming from a series of racially motivated incidents at a Zachary home.

The lawsuit was filed by Carolyn Morrison-Howard and her family after multiple incidents dating back to last year, where several obscenities, sexual images and racial slurs were spray-painted at her Littlefield Avenue home. 

Attorney Ryan Thompson is hosting a news conference discussing the lawsuit, which was preceded by the arrest of a 13-year-old. 

"No family should be subjected to racial hatred, intimidation, or fear in the place where they should feel safest," Rebecca Perloff, President of the NAACP Baton Rouge Branch, said. "We will be present to stand with this family, support their pursuit of justice, and send a clear message that hate has no place in Zachary, Baton Rouge, or anywhere in our community."
