This morning the words on the statue – Sacred to the Memory of Chris.
Columbus Oct. XII MDCC VIIIC – were unreadable, a hole smashed in the
stone.
“Racism: Tear it down,” one sign leaning on the monument base says.
“The future is racial and economic justice,” said another sign that was lying in the grass.
The vandalism comes in the wake of intense controversy, across the
country and in Baltimore, over monuments to the Confederacy and the
city-ordered removal of four Confederate-related monuments last week.
