Members of Doctor Seuss author Theodor Geisel's family are sounding off about the mural controversy at The Amazing World of Doctor Seuss Museum.
Leagrey Dimond, one of Geisel's step-daughters, shared a statement saying she and her sister want the mural based on artwork from Seuss' 1937 book "And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street" to stay at the Springfield museum.
t was announced that the mural would be removed earlier this month after several children's book authors decried a Chinese character they said represented a racial stereotype.
Dimond said in her statement that Geisel left behind a full body of work and changed with the times.
