Sylvan Park community unites against hate graffiti.

Dozens of Sylvan Park residents in Nashville came together to help erase hateful symbols spray-painted on the side of five homes in the neighborhood. At least two individuals spray-painted swastikas and other hate messages on homes during the early morning hours on Sunday. Community members showed up with power washers and spray-paint remover to get rid of the symbols on the side of one home. Children drew on poster boards in the front yard, writing out messages of inclusion. Police Chief John Drake ordered an increased patrol presence in the Sylvan Park neighborhood, as well as the areas around the city’s Jewish institutions, following the vandalism.
