The complaint is about the showing of slaves picking cotton.

Also the settlers marching past the dead Indian.

The artist was a Russian and a Communist who eventually went back to the Soviet Union.

So one may wonder if the mural was originally designed to paint a negative picture of Washington.

I don’t know that. Very interesting. And given the dead Indian, you might be right about the artist’s motive.

Correction to my post #52: I didn’t know that.

It clearly was designed to diss Washington. But practically nobody in the debate - not the leftists who oppose the mural or the conservative bloggers who support it - seem to understand that it’s an anti-Washington mural.
