CRENSHAW DISTRICT, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A Crenshaw District mural depicting influential African American figures has been vandalized with swastikas.

Part of the "Our Mighty Contribution" mural, located on Crenshaw Boulevard and Westmont Avenue, was defaced with white swastikas painted over the paintings of four Black Panther movement figures.
