A currently unidentified person or group of people chalked racist slurs and pictures on the archway in front of Moody Music Building during the day Tuesday, according to witnesses and the UA administration.
Witnesses said the vandalism depicted a figure hanging from a noose and several racial slurs and statements. The chalking also reportedly included the words, “I’m an Alabama nigger and I want to be free,” the opening lyrics to a song by country musician Clifford Joseph Trahan, who sang under the pseudonym Johnny Rebel.
According to an administrator in Moody, a black female student reported the chalking, and University of Alabama Police Department was called. After pictures were taken and a police report filed, the messages and pictures were washed away, the administrator said. More here
