Mayor Mike Spano commented on the BLM Mural on South Broadway, and the social media comments of some veterans who claimed that the mural, now located next to the Yonkers War Memorial, was the wrong place for it to be.
“There is no more of an appropriate place that this should be then next to City Hall and our Veterans Memorial. Our Veterans died, so that we can put this statement here. It’s moments like these that make me proud to be Mayor of a city that promotes our diversity. A city filled with over 100 different ethnicities and over 60 spoken languages – spoke in one unifying voice today.Thank you to Yonkers Arts and over 65 volunteers who painted this powerful message,” said Spano.
Very powerful comments.
