- Vandals spray-painted satanic symbols and racial slurs on two African-American churches and a Brevard County library overnight Monday in Melbourne.

“Shock that someone would do this is the only thing we can say at this point,” said Estella Edwards, director of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Public Library in Melbourne.

When Edwards got to work at 8 a.m. Tuesday, she found the name James Earl Ray, the n-word and a swastika all painted in green letters on the building at 955 E. University Blvd. Ray was convicted of the 1968 assassination of King.

    It is sad to see that there are still people who are willing to forward racism in this manner. Cowards do this type of action and then go run and hide.

    It is no secret that the racist faction of this nation is uncomfortable with the various changes that have happened.

    We need to be aware of the fact that these types of incidents occur. But we also need to make a decision on how to balance out the attention that is given to the type of action. Too much makes it seem as if we are afraid. Too little and it is like an open invitation for more.

    I wish just once the people w ho do this type of act could be caught.
    Ignorance is at an all time high in this nation~this is an example.
