Only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace
Juneteenth is the ficial day Independence for all Americans but there were still 4th July activities happening across the countries. As many grilled glizzys (word to the DMV), and others lit up fireworks, protesters in Baltimore made it abundantly clear that they will not be waiting for city ficials to remove the statue Christopher Columbus in the city’s Little Italy area.
CNN reports that a group protesters in Baltimore tore down the statue Columbus before dragging it into the Inner Harbor. A video emerged online last night after Louis Krauss shared the video onto social media. Krauss said there was roughly 300 people at the scene when the statue was taken down. “After it toppled over the statue broke into several pieces, which were then dragged across the plaza and dumped into the Inner Harbor,” Krauss said.
This arrives weeks after Donald Trump signed f on an executive order demanding the DOJ to prosecute anyone involved in the tearing down these controversial monuments. Trump urged the Department Justice to prosecute these protesters “to the fullest extent permitted under Federal law.”
Over the past few weeks, city ficials from across the country have ordered the removal statues controversial figures in American history with racist backgrounds.
