Some object to controversial Nation of Islam leader's inclusion, but mural creator has not yet made a decision.

Feiner supported public funding for the mural, but says it should not include a divisive figure such as Farrakhan.Community activist Clifton Abrams says the sketch was not a blueprint and the artist had freedom to add elements.
