Noose found at African American history museum
An exhibit was closed for three hours while park police removed the offending rope. Lonnie Bunch III, founding director of the museum, said in a statement on Twitter, “The noose has long represented a deplorable act of cowardice and depravity—a symbol of extreme violence for African Americans. Today’s incident is a painful reminder of the challenges that African Americans continue to face.” … “This was a horrible act, but it is a stark reminder of why our work is so important.”
