American University in DC Promotes Statue to Grant Clemency for Cop Killer Leonard Peltier
UPDATE: The American University communications team informed us that it isn’t a campaign for Peltier’s release:
We noticed that your outlet ran a story about the statue of Leonard Peltier currently on display at American University. We are kindly requesting that you update your story with the following information from American University:
“American University regards this statue as an exhibited piece of art and takes no position on the advocacy movement. AU’s Katzen Museum is hosting the artist’s statue as an exhibit; it is not a permanent installation. – American University Communications”
Best regards,
University Communications
