Henry King was with his son outside his South Buffalo home
in June when a few of his neighbors began to heckle him. They told Henry in
pretty offensive terms that he didn’t belong in their neighborhood. They used
the dreaded N word. The following morning Henry woke to find the same
sentiments expressed in orange spray paint all over his silver Chevy truck.
Henry took the truck to Collision Masters to see what could be done. “As soon
as he pulled in, the shop completely came to a halt,” said the shop’s owner,
Frank Todaro. “I looked at it and I says you’re not leaving until we get rid of
that for you.” Eight of his employees went straight to work. Within half an
hour all the orange was gone. Henry offered to pay, but Frank wouldn’t hear of
it. “I was concerned about the image of Buffalo itself. I don't think there’s
any place for that.”
