Amid racial reckoning following the death of George Floyd, many Confederate statues have been removed. Now, there are reports of Christopher Columbus statues being tampered with — one thrown into a lake, one beheaded, and another pulled to the ground.
Now, statues of Christopher Columbus, another controversial figure in US history, are also being taken down. There have been three reports of Christopher Columbus statues being tampered with -- one thrown into a lake, one beheaded, and another pulled to the ground.Columbus has long been a contentious figure in history for his treatment of the Indigenous communities he encountered and for his role in the violent colonization at their expense.
The Richmond Indigenous Society said in a tweet ahead of the rally that"we are gathering at Byrd Park to protest yet another racist monument. Christopher Columbus was a murderer of Indigenous people, mainstreaming the genocidal culture against Indigenous people that we still see today. Bring your sage, drum, jingle dress, and mask!"The demonstration began peacefully, but then protesters vandalized the Columbus statue, tore it down, and threw it into a lake in the park.
