Protesters in Richmond, Virginia, continue to tear down statues in the state capital, adding Christopher Columbus to their list.
The Christopher Columbus statue in Byrd Park (not pictured above) was torn down around 9 p.m. Tuesday, NBC12 reported, “following a peaceful demonstration outside of the statue in honor of indigenous people.” The statue was then torn from its foundation, spray painted, set on fire, and finally dropped in the nearby lake.
