Former Phoenix Suns guard and University of Kentucky legend Rex Chapman has requested his Hall of Fame plaque be removed from Freedom Hall in Louisville after learning the venue hosted a gun show last weekend where KKK and Nazi memorabilia was available for sale.
The Kentucky Expo Center issued a statement confirming sale of items connected with racist ideologies were present at the National Gun Day exhibit on Saturday. This includes authentic Nazi Christmas ornaments, Ku Klux Klan robes, Gestapo uniforms and swastika shirts.
Chapman made his demand on Twitter.
Hi @KyVenues -
My KY HOF plaque hangs in Freedom Hall commemorating induction in 2011.
