Asheville mural of pop star Tina Turner vandalized with apparent swastika

A mural of Tina Turner in Asheville, North Carolina was defaced with a red swastika, outside the Static Age Records store. According to the report: "After the store closed on the evening of December 23rd, Static Age employees say someone drew the symbol of Nazism, though incorrectly, with three of the four arms pointing counterclockwise. The swastika centers on the face of Turner, who is black." Upon discovery of the tarnished mural, store workers contacted Asheville Police Department and the Southern Poverty Law Center. A sheet was originally placed over the Turner mural, but has since been painted over in black.
