The New York Public Library has apologized to Page Six reporter Carlos Greer after he experienced racial profiling during a gala at the city institution.
“I was racially profiled at the New York Public Library, and it was humiliating,” Greer wrote in a piece published in The Post on Friday.
At Monday’s Library Lions Gala, Greer, a 32-year-old black man, was told by security, “You fit the description [of a party crasher].”
“I am thinking there’s no way someone from their events team flagged me as a crasher because I’ve worked with them for many years. I showed the security guards my press pass and seat assignment for the event and told them I was reporting for The Post,” he wrote.
Greer continued, “The New York Public Library receives millions in public and city money every year to meet its nearly $150 million operating budget. It is a tragedy that it can only be comfortably enjoyed by those of a ‘certain description.’”
