'I was furious' | @MelissaYKim & I spoke to Jason Taylor, the man who sent @WashProbs the video of the U Street Paul Robeson mural being defaced Sunday. He didn't approach the man due to safety concerns, but added he couldn't believe someone would deface the Black legend.( @wusa9 )

A community member just caught this man defacing paintings of historical Black figures on U Street, this one in particular being Duke Ellington. We understand there’s a culture of tagging, but is nothing sacred anymore?

Last note on this odd course of events. Looks like I'll support #Liverpool now. This has been fun. Haha.
