TALLADEGA, AL (AP) -
Officials at an Alabama museum say a faculty art show was canceled
when board members deemed some images offensive in a piece meant to
comment on Alabama's 2011 immigration law.
Kelly Williams, office administrator of Heritage
Hall Museum, said nine artists had contributed to what was supposed to
be a group exhibit for Troy University faculty members.
Williams tells The Daily Home newspaper of Talladega that a piece by one artist showed cans of Ajax with swastikas on the
top. Williams said the work also included some digitally altered images
of the Virgin Mary holding a dead chicken in one hand and a broom and
dust pan in the other.
Williams said the university was contacted, and the museum board then made a unanimous decision to cancel the show.
