Demonstrators in Richmond topple Howitzers monument, the third Confederate statue and fourth monument to be torn down in Virginia following the death of GeorgeFloyd
A statue of Christopher Columbus has been removed from a St Louis park, officials said on Tuesday, the latest monument taken down in response to nationwide protests over racial inequality.
Native American activists have long objected to honouring Columbus, saying his expeditions to the Americas led to the colonisation and genocide of their ancestors. "But now, for many, it symbolises a historical disregard for indigenous peoples and cultures and destruction of their communities," the commissioners wrote.
