A community group member in Port Talbot has spoken about the impact a racist graffiti slogan painted on a mural has had on the town. Jalisa Phoenix-Roberts, who lives in the town, was the one who spotted the graffiti.
On Friday, October 28, it emerged that swastikas, the words "Nazi zone" and a racial slur were painted on the mural, which was initially a part of the Street Art Trail and had been been created by the ARTWalk community group to celebrate the town's Caribbean community.
The graffiti has since been painted over and the mural has been restored. But following the incident, Jalisa feels that although the incident has shaken the community, it has also sparked a conversation on important issues.
