A memorial for Sade Robinson, a 19-year-old woman who was killed and dismembered after going on a date with the man charged in her murder, was canceled in Warnimont Park in Cudahy, Wisconsin. Milwaukee County Supervisor Juan Miguel Martinez decided to withdraw the resolution to install the memorial after receiving racist emails. Robinson’s mother, Sheena Scarbrough, agreed that it would be best to not move forward with the memorial, using $7,000 of taxpayers’ money. Martinez expressed disappointment at the racist backlash, stating that the memorial was meant to honor Robinson’s memory and provide comfort for her family. Maxwell Anderson, who went on a date with Robinson on April 1 and is charged with her murder, mutilation of a corpse, and arson, remains in custody on $5 million bail. In light of the racist emails, Milwaukee County Supervisor Felesia A. Martin criticized the overt prejudice and racism that exists in society. She acknowledged that a park may not be the best location for the memorial, but emphasized the importance of empathy and compassion in deciding on a more appropriate way to honor Robinson’s memory in the future. The incident highlights the need to address racism and hatred in society while ensuring that victims of tragic events are honored respectfully.
