Mural that Includes Slaves, Native Americans is Covered Up by University of Kentucky
University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto decided to shroud a controversial mural on campus in order “to respond to the pain that it causes” after a group of students came to him with frustrations late last month.
The 1934 mural painted by the late Ann Rice O’Hanlon, a Kentucky graduate, depicts black workers in a tobacco field and a Native American carrying a tomahawk. The piece occupies a wall inside Memorial Hall, a historic building on campus honoring those who lost their lives in World War I.
