THE CONTROVERSIAL BUST OF MARCUS GARVEY IS VANDALIZED, SPLATTERED WITH YELLOW PAINT!

The bust of National Hero Marcus Garvey, erected at the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies, has been vandalized.

The statue, put up in August, had been meant to appease the public following outrage over one previously erected at university.

Raymond Watson sculpted both pieces.
