Japanese Internment art installation defaced on inauguration day/MLK day

From ST article: Jeff Liang, the interim director of the Chinatown-International District Business Improvement Area: “To go through this much effort, to waste that much ink on covering up someone’s face, cover up history, write these Bible verses, they need help,” he said. “I’m not saying I forgive them.”

“We are a cultural icon so what we need is the love, attention and for people just to come here, eat here, shop here,” he said. “The way I think about fear is, you don’t run away. We want the whole city, we want everyone to come here and show the CID and Little Saigon compassion.”
