Heard about this yesterday. I've camped at this same site for the past 15 or so years. I dated a few girls from the area when I was younger so I knew it was in a county known for racism even though I have never actually witnessed it myself. Looks like the local residents (who have always been nothing but nice to me and my family) are supporting this Black family and raising funds so they will come back.
Man who allegedly terrorized African-American campers faces criminal charges
Organizer Shera Johnson, a Grass Valley, Calif. resident, was shocked when she heard about what had happened at the campground and wants to prove Nevada County is a welcoming place.
"Let's bring these people back. They're kind of nervous to come back to our community and I get that," Johnson said. "But in 2016 when they bring their family back, they're going to have a totally different experience."
