FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Earlier this summer, a local artist covered up a "white pride" message spray-painted on the side of a building on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Fayetteville with "love unites us." Now, her work has been vandalized, and more white supremacy messaging has been added to the building.
