Writing is on the wall for VLS murals after judge’s ruling Modified: 3/12/2021 9:29:34 PM RUTLAND A federal judge has ruled that Vermont Law School can put up a wall to obscure a pair of murals, so long as the murals are unharmed.

Thomas McHenry, then-president and dean of the South Royalton law school, initially announced that the mural would be painted over. Sam Kerson, the artist, objected.

Artist sues over Vermont Law School’s plan to remove murals A panel from a mural by Sam Kerson that had been displayed at Vermont Law School in Royalton, Vt. The school plans to paint over the mural, The Underground Railroad Vermont and the Fugitive Slave, painted in 1993, because the depictions of the African-Americans on the mural are offensive to many in our community and, upon reflection and consultation, we have determined that the mural is not consistent with our School’s commitment to fairness, inclusion, diversity, and social justice, according to a statement from VLS Dean Dean Thomas McHenry on July 6, 2020.
