From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Someone whited out Martin Luther King Jr.’s face on a mural of the slain civil rights leader.

Authorities are trying to determine if the election day vandalism is a hate crime or malicious mischief.

The vandals left the rest of the mural intact.

The mural had been untouched for five years outside the Martin Luther King Center, which served as a polling place and provides after-school programs to about 20 children each day.
