The Puerto Rican community is demanding an investigation after a street sign in Brooklyn was taken down.
The community is outraged and believe the city is trying to erase Puerto Rican contributions and culture. They want answers from the mayor and Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez.
"I smell bigotry from the DOT. If you know when a sign is going up, you should know when a sign is coming down. It's not a mistake," one person said. "You will not come in our community and continue to dictate to us who and what and where we are going to be," another person said.DOT officials say the sign was mistakenly taken down.
