Malicious slander by neighbor with repercussions

A neighbor who lives four houses away accosted me while I was in the street looking for my cat. It did not stop there. She went back to her porch, and SCREAMED the most vulgar comments followed by "YOU'RE PREJUDICED." Her diatribe was loud, malicious, and totally false and lasted ten minutes. (I have worked as a newspaper reporter for many years; nobody has ever accused me of being prejudiced). I suspect her attack had less to do with me than her situation, but I suffer the damage of her assault. I have since been pointed to and pointed out, accused of "damaging" property, had my property vandalized while this woman continues to target me. My neighbors, once friendly and close, avoid me as they are now afraid to be seen talking with me. Black people including one young man up the block, are stalking me now. I am afraid & utterly shattered as I've done great work as a reporter for all downtrodden. She is becoming obsessed with me. I am a disabled person. Can I sue her?
