MIAMI — A Miami, Florida, preschool is under fire after photos appeared to show children in one class in blackface during Black History Month.
The children can be seen dressed up in costumes based on different professions – including police officers and construction workers. Their faces appeared to be painted black, a photo of the incident shows.
However, in messages to parents, shared with ABC News, the owner said"we have not intended to offend anyone, and we are very sorry about any inconvenience." Courtney Politis, whose child attended the preschool, told ABC News she found out about the alleged blackface incident through a friend whose child was in the class that day on Feb. 3. Then, Politis said, photos of the incident began to circulate in a school-based messaging app.
