    Haines and Marks, the couple behind the mural, are both white – as is the artist who made the piece.

    Of course they all are. Who else knows what’s better for the black community and how to depict that community’s heroes than white people?

      Yes seems like another case of Democrats forcefully “helping” black people to make themselves feel better.
