The Harry E Reed Insurance Agency of Millinocket, Maine, is facing criticism for posting a racist sign on Juneteenth.
The agency received nearly 90 — largely one-star — Yelp reviews, with many posters condemning the insurance agency as"racist."
Jeff Sibel, a spokesperson for Progressive, said in a statement,"We're aware and appalled by the sign recently posted at the Harry E Reed Agency and are terminating our relationship with the agency." "At Progressive, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are fundamental to our Core Values. We're committed to creating an environment where our people feel welcomed, valued and respected and expect that anyone representing Progressive to take part in this commitment. The sign is in direct violation of that commitment and doesn't align with our company's Core Values and Code of Conduct," Sibel said in a statement.denouncing the sign.
"It is deeply saddening, disgraceful and unacceptable for any person, business or organization to attempt to make light of Juneteenth and what it represents for millions of slaves and their living descendants," Golieb's said."There is no place in the Town of Millinocket for such a blatant disregard of human decency."
