Lateisha's Flowers: County's first hate crime murder sparks continuing response

Before the meeting, Smothers unfolded a banner she'd been working on with Green's mother in memory of Lateisha Green, with cut-out rainbow fabric letters appliquéd on a black background. Quilt-like, it echoes those long-ago quilt codes that once signaled safe passage to others escaping murderous pursuers along the Underground Railroad. If Syracuse has its Matthew Shepard now, our gay youth of color may have a pair of Harriet Tubmans.
