Detroit Dumps Columbus Statue

The Detroit News: After 110 years downtown, Detroit's Christopher Columbus bust placed in storage

The bust of Christopher Columbus, which has been displayed in downtown Detroit for more than a century, was removed Monday and will be placed into storage.

John Roach, spokesman for Mayor Mike Duggan, said via text message that "the mayor decided it ought to be placed in storage to give us time to evaluate the appropriate long-term disposition of the statue."

We'll note the famous Black fist statute is not being discussed to be removed, but George Washington may be next.

the Louis Fist has historically been more controversial, as suburban guests have portrayed it as a threatening symbol of black power, while Detroiters believe it's a symbol of black pride and a way to pay homage to a boxer whose skills gave achievement and notoriety to a community that needed both.

Be interesting to see how much more history will be wiped away in this current progressive hysteria to get rid of anything that might be deemed offensive to the woke.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984
