Chicago temporarily removed two statues of Christopher Columbus and announced it would reassess the appropriateness of all its monuments
“This step is about an effort to protect public safety and to preserve a safe space for an inclusive and democratic public dialogue about our city’s symbols,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office said in a statement.
After consulting with “stakeholders,” Lightfoot ordered the removal of statues in Grant Park, Chicago’s large recreation area, and another in the Little Italy district, the statement said. “It comes in response to demonstrations that became unsafe for both protesters and police, as well as efforts by individuals to independently pull the Grant Park statue down in an extremely dangerous manner,” the statement said.
