A Symbol of Pain and Ignorance: Take Down the Linden Post Office Mural!
The mural in Linden's Post Office vividly depicts barefoot slaves picking cotton. Although many believe this is a part of area history, the presence of the mural is offensive and insensitive to African Americans and only serves as an unneeded reminder of our painful past.
The painting is not appropriate for a federal instituion supported by tax payer's dollars, and if left in place it will only continue to instill and glorify negative attitudes toward African-Americans.
Take action against the continuation of ignorance by signing your name below in favor of the removal of the post office mural.
