The paintings are at Dorsey Park, a historic Negro League park in a neighborhood known as the 'Harlem of the South' during segregation.

The graffiti consists of swastikas painted on both men's face, with the N-word also used twice on Robinson. The murals, which are located at Dorsey Park of Miami's historically black Overtown neighborhood, have since been covered up with wooden boards.

Two murals in Miami honoring baseball pioneers were defaced with racist imagery this week in what is being investigated as a hate crime, police said Friday. The murals depicted Hall of Famers Jackie Robinson and Minnie Minoso.
