Christopher Columbus Statue Vandalized In Baltimore: "He's Central To The Narrative Of White Nationalism"

https://www.baltimorebrew.com/2017/08/21/columbus-statue-in-baltimore-vandalized/

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.
