A White Woman Called Police on a Black 12-Year-Old — for Mowing Grass

It’s a business that has existed for as long as there have been summer vacations and borrowed lawn mowers: A pint-size entrepreneur offers to endure the rage of a summer sun on a neighbor’s behalf, pushing a lawn mower across high grass for a small fee.

"A White Woman Called Police on a Black 12-Year-Old — for Mowing Grass" is from the June 30, 2018 Natonal section of The Washington Post. It was written by Cleve R. Wootson Jr. and narrated by Sam Scholl.
