NORTHAMPTON — Activist group Northampton Abolition Now is criticizing the city for taking down a mural in memory of George Floyd, which was set up on the doors of City Hall during a remembrance and protest on Tuesday.
In response, Mayor David Narkewicz said that while people are permitted to gather and protest in front of City Hall, they are not permitted to paint or paste materials onto the building or obstruct entryways.
