Nooses were found hanging from trees and hate signs posted on the lawn of the Mississippi State Capitol building, on the eve of a U.S. Senate runoff election that has focused attention on the state’s troubled history of race relations.
The nooses and signs were removed after being reported to the Capitol Police.
