A plaque with Ms. Taylor’s name and the phrase “Say Her Name” was displayed on the front of the statue that was vandalized in Latham Square plaza, which is near Oakland City Hall.
“I built it to support the Black Lives Matter movement,” Mr. Carson said in an interview on Monday night, “but that also makes it a target for racist aggression.”
