A city in California is reexamining whether it wants to make alterations to its city logo, which includes a depiction of a noose.
The city council in Placerville, formerly known as Hangtown, will meet Tuesday to consider public input as it debates changing its insignia to exclude the noose.
The council began discussing a potential redesign of the city’s logo in July 2020 and considered removing the depiction of the noose from the logo, a symbol pointing back to its reputation during the Gold Rush, though a proposed redesigned logo was rejected.
Council members reignited discussions in January and determined in a February meeting that the public should be afforded an opportunity to weigh in on any decision to scrap the old logo.
Placerville City Council unanimously moves to lose the noose
