A Ku Klux Klan plaque is mounted at the entrance of the U.S. Military Academys science center in West Point, New York, a congressional commission has found.

A photo of the bronze marker appears in a report that was released in August by the Naming Commission, which was tasked with reviewing Department of Defense assets that commemorate the Confederacy and provide renaming or removal recommendations.

The plaque depicts a person in a hood, holding a weapon, with the words Ku Klux Klan beneath it. It appears on a larger piece of artwork called a triptych at the entrance to Bartlett Hall.

The U.S. Military Academys public affairs office said in a statement that the part of the artwork that shows the KKK member is in a small section under the panel titled One Nation, Under God, Indivisible.
