MOUNT AIRY -- Mount Airy's mayor, David Rowe, is still receiving backlash from comments he made that were printed in a Washington Post article on January 5.
He said, "When you're my age and you see an African-American boy with pants at their knees, you can't appreciate them. I'm worried about when a person chooses to dress like that, what kind of affect will that person have on society."
A Facebook group called Citizens Unite for Love and Community has been created by residents of Mount Airy, and they say they will not quit until Mayor Rowe resigns.
