SOUTH ROYALTON, Vt. (AP) A federal court judge is giving an artist more time to explain how the Vermont Law School s plan to cover a pair of murals he painted nearly three decades ago that the school community now regards as racially insensitive might damage the artwork.
The murals by then-Vermont-based artist Sam Kerson were intended to honor African Americans and abolitionists involved in the Underground Railroad. Vermont Law School announced last year that it planned to paint over them after some school community members said the depictions are offensive. Students and others have condemned the artwork as having exaggerated and dated depictions of slaves and enslavers.
