Officials in Claremont, New Hampshire, say there will be many conversations in the city about how to prevent violent and race-based attacks in the coming months after news broke last week that local teenagers had allegedly tried to hang a biracial boy.

About 100 people recently gathered in a park outside city hall for a vigil in response. Britta Greene (@brittalhg) from New Hampshire Public Radio reports.
