Christopher Columbus Monument Defaced in Central Park

The bronze statue of Christopher Columbus, who was standing at Central Park since 1892, was found on Tuesday and posted a message on his base "I do not tolerate hatred".

Like Sarah Maslin Nir and Jeffery C. Mays covered the New York Times, the destroyer also wrote the label "#somethingscoming" in a statue and covered it with red paint.

In order to wipe out the monument, the protection staff was immediately placed. According to West Side Rag, a spokeswoman for the New York Police Department said the vandalism is "still under investigation" and there are no suspects at the moment.

The contamination of the Columbus statue often discusses controversial historical monuments and is in a violent national debate. Most of the conversation was focused on statues of Allied heroes. After a deadly meeting in Charlottesville, Virginia, white nationalists convened protests against the demolition of Robert Lee's statues, and more and more southern monuments were destroyed.

Columbus was three centuries before the civil war, but he was also a hot topic of controversy. The explorer is known for his ambitious new world trip but many are aware that Columbus and his soldiers have caused a cruel and devastating treatment for the indigenous peoples they encountered.

The Mayor of New York City Mayor Bill De Brazio organized an advisory committee to determine how best to deal with "monument that is oppressive and thought to contradict the values ​​of New York City". However, some residents try to do it on their own. In August, in the Columbus statue in Astoria in Queens, the word "do not massacre not destroy it" was drawn. In the city near Yonkers, the Columbus monument was recently beheaded

"The mayor considers vandalism to be wrong and has never properly dealt with these conversations and monuments," he told Mr. Neil and Mr. Neil of the New York Times. "There is an important public dialogue place here, which is why the mayor will form an expert team to carefully and effectively organize this process, vandalism is not an answer."

In late August, elected officials called for the most impressive tribute to the city to Columbus, the cancellation of the marble statue of the 70-foot lively Columbus circle on the ground. But Brazio's spokesperson Philips said that there is no plan to destroy the monument.

There are many monuments and monuments in the city, the most famous among them is Monument Avenue. Other monuments include A.P. Hill Memorial, Jackson's Building "Bojangles" Robinson Memorial, and Christopher Columbus Monument near Bird Park.
