Teens behind racist graffiti sentenced to visit Holocaust Museum

The boys, who are all 16 or 17, pleaded guilty to destruction of property and unlawful entry from the Sept. 30 incident. Judge Avelina Jacob in Loudoun County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court sentenced them to read books from a list that includes works by prominent black, Jewish and Afghan authors. They also must write a research paper on hate speech and go to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and listen to an interview with a former student of the Ashburn Colored School, the building they defaced. The school taught Loudoun County's black children from 1892 until the 1950s.
