Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine wants New York City to remove the names of Nazi collaborators Henri Philippe Pétain and Pierre Laval from the Canyon of Heroes.
Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said the city must remove the names of Nazi collaborators Henri Philippe Pétain and Pierre Laval from the Canyon of Heroes — almost 100 years after they were honored with a ticker-tape parade.
Laval, the French prime minister at the time of his Oct. 22, 1931 parade, was executed for his crimes in 1945 while Pétain died in prison in 1951 twenty years after his own ticker tape held just four days after that given to his future fellow fascist-loving Frenchman. “You might assume that names were added throughout the last century,” Levine said of the names etched onto the Broadway sidewalk. “This is a fairly recent development.”
