A 9-year-old black girl in Alabama, allegedly took her own life after facing relentless bullying and racism in class.
McKenzie Adams’ relatives said she hanged herself Dec. 3, in her home in Linden, and was discovered by her grandmother, according to the Tuscaloosa News.
Since the start of the school year, the fourth-grader had been the target of bullying at US Jones Elementary School, where she was teased over her friendship with a white male classmate.
Her aunt, Eddwina Harris, said the group of students taunted McKenzie by telling her to commit suicide.
