Community hub could remove two murals of Black icons MARION, Ind. (WISH) — A nonprofit hub in Marion will soon decide whether or not to remove two murals of prominent Black women from its building. Community members say removing them would be a mistake. One of the murals features astronaut Mae Jemison, the first Black woman to travel to space. The other mural features jazz artist Billie Holiday, who sang the generational song, “Strange Fruit.” “…
