NORTH ST. LOUIS COUNTY (KMOV.com) – Local organizations are supporting St. Louis County health director, who says he has suffered racist attacks.
Dr Faisal Khan says some people who attended the St. Louis County Council meeting on Tuesday evening taunted him with racist and xenophobic remarks. Local groups representing minorities gathered in Berkeley outside the St. Louis County Health Department building on Friday morning, calling for rallying behind Khan.
“We all know this story could have been any of us,” said Maharat Rori Picker Neiss, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of St. Louis. “We are talking about the pandemic, but the other pandemic we are fighting is one of hate.”
“We are firmly committed to the fight against racism, intolerance and hatred,” said John Bowman of the St. Louis County Chapter of the NAACP.
Khan says he has a security detail after Tuesday night’s incident.
