HARTFORD, CONN – On June 11, the Black Lives Matter mural on Trinity Street, which was originally painted in the summer of 2020 and is being repainted by artists from around the Hartford community, was defaced with a swastika and a coded message of white supremacy. Mayor Bronin issued the following statement:
"Whoever scrawled this swastika and message of white supremacy is a miserable, small, hate-filled person who wants us divided and afraid - but our Hartford community is united, diverse, loving, and strong. We're angry about this vile act of hate, but we're not weakened by it. I went out this morning to thank the artists who have joined together to renew this mural as a beautiful expression of a community that stands together in love and mutual respect. Our police are working to find the person responsible for this hate crime, and I want that person to know that their hatefulness just made us stronger."
