It is known as a symbol of hate. The Swastika was used decades ago as a symbol of the Nazi's rise to power in Germany.
One man hopes to rid a local county building of this symbol many people do not even know is there. Here is senior reporter Suzanne Hobbs.
Since 1952, Reginald Reeves has worked as an attorney in Idaho Falls. He has roamed the halls of the historic Bonneville County Courthouse all these years. And one thing has stood out as offensive: these Swastikas placed in the tile floor of the rotunda when it was first built, 83 years ago; around the time the national socialist party was formed, taking on the Swastika as its symbol.
Reginald Reeves: "The symbol is offensive, not just to people of Jewish ancestry, but to thinking people, and concerned people everywhere."
Despite all these years of asking for change, nothing permanent has been done. Reeves suggests the tiles be removed and placed in a local museum.
