LIMA — Allegations of systemic racism against the Ford Lima Engine Plant were on display again as protesters gathered on the lawn outside the plant Friday afternoon.
The complaints were many: a lack of diversity, particularly within management and human resources; allegations of retaliation and unfair treatment; and a series of alleged racist incidents, the most recent of which involved a stuffed monkey found hanging from a noose, according to photos circulating on social media and shown to The Lima News.
