Black resident hospitalized amid harassment claims in Delaware county
Horace Baker, a Black man who moved into Folcroft Delmar Village, has been admitted to Haverford State Hospital for 21 days with possible extension. Civil rights groups link his illness to ongoing harassment and extremist violence targeting him and his wife Sara, including jeers, vandalism, and a heavy police response after their Aug 30 arrival in a 1,500-home area.
