Priscilla Coggs Jones – 2nd Vice Chair, District 13
MILWAUKEE – Supervisor Priscilla Coggs-Jones issued the following statement regarding the newly unveiled mural near Holton and Locust Streets:
“I was recently made aware of the new mural at Holton and Locust in my district, which intertwines the Star of David and a swastika. I’ve heard from members of the Jewish community about how deeply offensive and demeaning this image is and was taken aback myself upon seeing it. I stand with them in calling for its immediate removal. Antisemitic symbols and rhetoric like this have no place in our community. Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee are actively working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.”
