US EditionMiami Marlins join efforts to restore defaced Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso mural
- Last week, a mural featuring iconic baseball figures Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso in Miami's Overtown area was vandalized with hateful graffiti, including Nazi symbols and racist language.
- The vandalism was uncovered last Sunday by a 7-year-old boy, leading Miami's local leadership and several organizations to announce plans on Wednesday to restore the damaged mural.

- King described the incident as a serious violation of community principles and heritage, while the Miami Marlins and local officials strongly denounced the hateful vandalism. Meanwhile, police continue their investigation, with no arrests made so far.
- The restoration at Dorsey Park symbolizes community resilience and a commitment to rebuild bonds of understanding and respect, opposing hatred and intolerance in the Overtown neighborhood.
