(NH1 News) For years, Durham’s post office has been at the center of controversy over a mural some local residents find racist and offensive.
It depicts a Native American holding a torch, apparently ready to set a Dover settler’s house on fire.
“Complaints are fairly frequent. A visitor marching into our office and saying, ‘how can you have this racist, offensive picture in our post office?'” said Todd Selig, Durham Town Administrator.
Some Durham residents want the image of the Native American removed.
“I’d side with removing it,” said Steven Barard of Durham, as he left the post office Tuesday.
