Black History Month artwork torn down at Orange Coast College; investigation launched
excerpt:
Mendoza's project was among many art pieces submitted by students and community members to commemorate Black History Month. Mendoza collaborated on the exhibit with other students and OCC's Student Equity Program, which says it seeks to guarantee "fair treatment, access, opportunity and advancement for all students ... regardless of background."
"It's really upsetting and it bothers me that people can't be respectful," Mendoza said. "Obviously my artwork still needs to be up."
