What happened with Keron Williams?
Keron Williams was a diligent student at the predominantly white school, Lower Merion School District. He focused on his studies and enjoyed football. However, Keron was once summoned to his school office in December 2009 and had his jacket searched after being told that a student had reported losing a bracelet and said that they saw an African American student take it.
Keron was deeply unsettled by this behavior from the school and later opened up about how he felt he had been racially profiled. This incident soon led to another one in July 2010 when he received a notice from the school which said that a lawsuit was filed by another student, Blake Robbins, alleging that his privacy had been violated through tracking software installed by the school in their school-issued Macbooks.
It was revealed that 729 webcam photos and screenshots had been taken of Keron without consent. The photos were taken from his laptop following the December 2009 incident after the school accused him of theft and they stopped in February 2010 following Blake's lawsuit. Keron Williams and his family went on to file a third, separate lawsuit against the school district. This whole incident left him disturbed and shaken, impacting his studies and passion.
