Protesters in Baltimore have taken a new approach to removing monuments to renowned explorer Christopher Columbus. After the statue was toppled by a mob of Black Lives Matter protesters in July 2020, vandals have installed a white porcelain toilet on top of the pedestal, replacing the likeness of Columbus. The statue was fished out of the Inner Harbor and refurbished before being re-erected on the White House grounds in March. Several other monuments have been vandalized or destroyed over the July 4 holiday.
Italian-American community leaders in Baltimore are livid after vandals plunked a toilet down on the site of a Christopher Columbus statue that was hurled into the Inner Harbor by protesters in 2020.
Officials were tipped off about the "inappropriate" display last week, when passersby reported that the pedestal that once held the discoverer's likeness was now topped by a white porcelain toilet. The statue was later fished out of the Inner Harbor and refurbished before it was re-erected on the White House grounds in March by President Trump
