Hey Cristopher Columbus, this is for you 🖕🏽 You didn’t discover anything you murderer! 👋🏻🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸 • How is this statue still standing in Central Park? Can it be removed forever out of our existence? • Imagine erecting a statue of Hitler in the middle of Central Park and praising him for something he didn’t do, knowing he provided the tools and orders for the genocide he’s guilty of. • How would you feel? Would you say something? Would you be upset? Would you protest? Would you be appalled? Would you call someone in the city to get that statue removed? What would you do if a statue of a genocider is still standing in your city? • Police has that stupid statue barricaded because we want to bring it down, but they won’t let us. We should be allowed to paint it red, spit on it, stone it, and burn it. • We shouldn’t be praising cold blooded racist killers. Millions of indigenous people were killed under Columbus tenure and we should never forget that. Our ancestors paid a high price under the colonizers swords. We don’t need painful reminders of such atrocities. Bring that sh!t down! ✊🏾🖕🏽🔥 • • • #nyc #newyorkcitycouncil #newyorkcitycouncilmen #newyorkcitymayor #newyorkcitymayorsoffice #boroughofmanhattan #newyorkcounty #genocide #centralpark #newyorkstate #manhattan #nyc #thebigapple #stopthegenocide #colonialgenocide #removecolumbusstatue #columbuswasamurderer #genociderincentralpark #newyorkcity #columbusstatue #removethatstatue #newyorkstateofmind #newyorkstategovernor #ihatechristophercolumbus #fuckcolumbus #whitecolonialism #remindersofgenocide #welcometonewyork #thief #asesino (at Central Park, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjirtjyLNDV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

👏🏿🇲🇽 #ArtIsAWeapon Reposted from @nytimes Statues of Columbus are being toppled across the Americas, amid fierce debates over the region’s legacy of European conquest and colonialism. Few have been more contentious than the replacement of a monument at the heart of Mexico’s capital, touching on some of the most intense disputes in the country’s current politics, including not just race and history, but also sex. Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum announced Tuesday that the Columbus statue that once gazed down on Mexico City’s main boulevard will be replaced with a pre-colonial Indigenous figure — notably, a woman. The bronze statue of Columbus, erected in 1877 atop a pedestal in a traffic island, had been defaced by protesters in the past, and officials took it down last year, amid threats of further damage. In its place will be a replica of a stone carving named “the Young Lady of Amajac,” which was discovered in January in the eastern state of Veracruz and dates to around the time of Columbus’s voyages, more than 550 years ago. The new figure will stand about 20 feet tall, three times the height of the original, now housed in the National Museum of Archaeology in Mexico City. The photo above is of a temporary statue of a woman, erected by feminists where the statue of Columbus once stood. The photo was taken by Pedro Pardo/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images. #IndigenousPeoples #ChristopherColumbus #Genocide #Colonizers #ColumbusStatue https://www.instagram.com/p/CVNOtU7rifS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Looking forward to this! Wednesday, October 28, 2020 1:00 pm — 2:20 pm EST via zoom. Registration link in bio. “How Do We Decide?: Monuments in the Era of #BlackLivesMatter" How do we strike a balance between tearing monuments down and leaving them up? Join us for a roundtable discussion focusing on the role of monuments in our national identity. Which monuments should come down? Which should stay up? What kind of alternative possibilities can we envision for calling out controversial figures who nevertheless remain integral to the American story? How do we decide? #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #monuments #history #historicalmonument #blackhistorymatters #usparksandmonuments #historicalmemory #stonybrookuniversity #historicpreservation #historylovers #charleston #equestrian #charlottesville #boston #columbusstatue #confederatestatues #emancipation https://www.instagram.com/p/CGaotYlnui2/?igshid=q2s38mh0qqvr

On July 4, the #Columbusstatue in #Baltimore was toppled, destroyed and thrown into the Baltimore Harbor. Erected in October 1984, the statue was paid for by Italian American citizens of Baltimore, supported by local and national political leadership on both sides of the aisle... pic.twitter.com/2euyai3erE
