CABARRUS COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) A North Carolina library is at the center of controversy by many who say it displays a Confederate flag, soldiers, Native Americans and images of slavery. I think now is the time for Cabarrus County to be a leader in this fight for justice, and righting the wrongs of the past, Jerl Hyman-Green, with the Cabarrus County Library System, told WSOC.
The mural is currently out of sight to the public due to the pandemic. When I saw the mural, it was such a visceral reaction, Hyman-Green said.
A state chapter president of the NAACP, Amos McClorey, called the mural shocking at first.

CONCORD, NC – There is a new push to remove a massive mural at the Cabarrus County Library, that many say contains offensive imagery.
The North Carolina NAACP is now involved calling for the mural’s removal despite county steps to limit the public’s access.
“What it does is it degrades the African American portrait of whatever that artist was trying to say,” said Amos McClorey, the local representative of the NAACP.
He says he’s asked the county to remove the 50 foot mural in the Cabarrus County Library auditorium, saying it shows dehumanizing images of slavery and a prominent confederate flag.
