Trick-or-treaters in blackface, Confederate flags shock family on Halloween (Lehigh Valley Live, Penna., with video)
Two trick-or-treaters, believed to be juvenile males, were out collecting candy Wednesday night in Lower Macungie Township sporting blackface and Confederate flag capes as their costumes.
That’s according to a family who confronted the unidentified pair about their apparently racist costumes, then posted video of the exchange on Facebook.
Esperanza Menendez, 17, told lehighvalleylive.com she was taking part in the township’s trick-or-treat night off Route 100 behind Mack Trucks, with her 10-year-old and 18-year-old sisters, as well as a friend.
