Jackie Robinson, Minnie Minoso mural vandalized in Miami
Police are investigating after vandals defaced a mural of baseball legends Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso that is part of a collection of artwork honoring baseball players in Miami's Overtown neighborhood. The vandalism was discovered Sunday by a 7-year-old boy who asked his mother what the words and the Nazi symbols meant, community leaders said during a news conference. City workers have since partially covered the murals of Robinson and Miñoso, an Afro-Cuban player, with wooden boards. 3 Murals of baseball legends Minnie Miñoso, second from left, and Jackie Robinson, third from left, are covered with plywood after being defaced in Miami's Overtown neighborhood, Thursday, June 5, 2025, in Miami. AP The murals are along a fence at Dorsey Park, where Negro League teams once played baseball. 'I know you may not be able to show it on television, but we need the community to uncover the hurt and the hatred that is existing. The reason why this keeps being perpetuated is because we keep covering it up,' said Terrance Cribbs-Lorrant, an executive director with the city of Miami Black Police Precinct. On Wednesday, Democratic U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick said in a statement that she is outraged by the 'vile act of hatred.' 3 A portrait of Brooklyn Dodgers' infielder Jackie Robinson in uniform. Getty Images 'We must treat this for what it is: a hate crime meant to instill fear and division. But we will not be intimidated. We will respond with unity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and the preservation of our history,' she said. Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in 1947 when he became the first black player, signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Miñoso became the league's first Afro-Latino player and the first black player for the Chicago White Sox. 3 Minnie Minoso was the MLB's first Afro-Latino player. New York Post The murals have been displayed in the park since 2011 and are a collaboration between artists Kyle Holbrook and Kadir Nelson and various community groups. Police have yet to make any arrests for the vandalism. 'This was more than a defaced mural — it was an attempt to silence our story,' said Dr. Saliha Nelson, CEO of Urgent, Inc. 'But we will not be erased. We will restore this mural and celebrate this space as a symbol of agency, pride, and excellence.'

Jackie Robinson, Minnie Miñoso murals defaced with racial slurs and swastikas in Miami
Two murals in Miami, depicting two of baseball's heroes, were defaced with racial slurs and swastikas. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) Murals honoring groundbreaking MLB Hall of Famers Jackie Robinson and Minnie Miñoso were defaced with racial slurs and swastikas in Miami this week. The Miami Police Department was notified of the crime on Monday and the department's special investigations unit is investigating the incident as a hate crime, an officer told The Athletic on Friday. Advertisement The graffiti consists of swastikas painted on both men's faces, with the N-word also used twice on Robinson. The murals, which are located at Dorsey Park in Miami's historically black Overtown neighborhood, have since been covered up with wooden boards. Dorsey Park played host to several barnstorming Negro League teams in the 20th century. The artist behind the murals promised to restore them in a statement to The Athletic: 'This was an act of hate, but it will not define us,' said Kyle Holbrook, the artist who painted the mural in 2012 as part of the MLK Mural Project in partnership with local artists. 'This mural was born from a community's pride, history, and power. We will restore it — stronger, bolder, and with even more purpose. Black history is American history. And no spray paint can erase that truth.' U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL), whose district includes Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, denounced the "vile act of hatred" in a statement Wednesday: 'This act of vandalism is not only an attack on a piece of public art—it is an attack on the dignity, pride, and cultural heritage of the Overtown community and the countless individuals who have fought and continue to fight for racial justice. 'We must treat this for what it is: a hate crime meant to instill fear and division. But we will not be intimidated. We will respond with unity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and the preservation of our history.' Robinson and Miñoso both occupy pioneering roles, not just in MLB history, but in the fight for civil rights. Robinson broke baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, while Miñoso was the first Afro-Latino player in MLB and the first Black player in the history of the Chicago White Sox. Both men played in the Negro Leagues. Miñoso died in 2015 and was posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022.
