A New York City Parks employee found an African-American doll hanging by a chain wrapped around her neck Tuesday morning.
The doll was found by a seasonal employee who is also African-American and who was just returning from sick leave.
In case the offensive scene with all its disturbing, racist overtones was not hateful enough, Geoffrey Croft, President of NYC Park Advocates, says someone scrawled KKK in the bathroom.
The facility just off the Bronx River Parkway is the Bronx headquarters for the Parks Department.
Many workers there are black or Hispanic.
The parks commissioner issued a response: "The Parks Department does not tolerate hateful acts such as this or any form of discrimination."
