    Chapman University Monument Defaced

    Chapman University in Orange California owns a large piece of the Berlin Wall. It’s part of Liberty plaza on the campus. It was defaced sometime between July 21 and 11 a.m. on July 22, university spokeswoman Amy Stevens said. The bottom portion of each side of the wall was painted brown.

    The 2.5-ton, 12-foot-high piece of the Berlin Wall is still covered in anti-communist graffiti. Fortunately, the piece of the wall was preserved at the time of its installation and university officials were confident it could be restored without permanent damage.
