Fort Campbell officials say an offensive Halloween display at an on-post residence has been removed. Authorities responded to a report yesterday of decorations that depict what appears to be the lynching of an African-American family.
A photo submitted to the website ClarksvilleNow.com also shows one of the smaller figures with a knife in its back.
One of the figures held a sign that isn't legible in the picture.
The home’s occupant was notified of the complaints and removed the display.
No charges have been filed, and the homeowner has apologized.
