of Lee Monument in Richmond
...
The 130-year-old, 60-foot-tall bronze statue of Confederate Gen.
Robert E. Lee on a horse gained national attention last year as
a focus of protests in Richmond. The base of the monument is now
covered with graffiti and it was illuminated at night with
holographic images. A year ago, demonstrators at the circle —
now surrounded by fencing — were tear gassed by police.[/quote]

I will never understand why this was not done to Lee himself.

[quote]Mexico City to swap Columbus statue for one of indigenous
woman
[...]
Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said the bronze likeness of
Columbus would be moved to a park and a statue of an Olmec woman
would take its place.
[...]
She said that relocating the statue was not an attempt to "erase
history" but to deliver "social justice".
Ms Sheinbaum said that the Columbus statue "would not be hidden
away" but that the civilisations which existed in Mexico before
the Spanish conquest should receive recognition.[/quote]

I'm not sure why they chose an Olmec statue when they have
nothing to do with Mexico City. They could have made the statue
a citizen of Teotihuacan instead...

(Also, Mexico City won't be fully decolonized until someone
named Sheinbaum isn't the mayor!)

[quote]What is believed to be the only Confederate statue
remaining on public grounds in Maryland will be removed after
the Talbot County Council adopted an immediate resolution to
move it from outside the courthouse to a private park in
Virginia.
The bronze Talbot Boys Statue, stationed on the lawn outside the
Eastern Shore courthouse, honors Talbot County residents who
fought for the South during the Civil War, its chief figure a
life-size young soldier clutching a Confederate flag.
...
The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit in May demanding the statue’s
removal, calling it unconstitutional, and Maryland activists
long have said that the statue should no longer stand outside
the courthouse. Prior council resolutions to remove the monument
failed, although a smaller Frederick Douglass statue was erected
in front of the courthouse in 2011, according to the suit. More
recently, singer and Easton native Maggie Rogers urged
individuals last week to support the council’s resolution.
Kisha Petticolas, a Talbot County public defender named in the
ACLU suit, cheered the council’s decision, but called herself
“cautiously optimistic.”
“I am an African-American woman and the United States of
America, in 2021. I’ve seen a lot. I’ve read a lot” she said.
“And I know that these things don’t die quietly.”[/quote]
You are correct! Western civilization in particular will not die
quietly. It will in fact not die at all unless we kill it with
our own hands and make 100% sure it it is truly dead before we
stop.

As previously mentioned, we should move onto colonial-era
buildings eventually. Here is a video from Empires of Dirt that
lists several where we could get started:

On the contrary, I am saying precisely that. And all True
Leftists should feel so inclined.

Slow but steady advance:
HTML https://www.newsweek.com/boston-latest-city-replace-columbus-day-indigenous-peoples-day-1636405
[quote]Boston is the latest U.S. city to replace Columbus Day
with Indigenous Peoples’ Day in a surprise move by acting Mayor
Kim Janey.
The executive order signed by Janey recognizes the second Monday
in October as Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead of Columbus Day
starting next week on October 11.
“This is a small step in a long journey around justice in our
city,” Janey told reporters outside of Boston City Hall on
Wednesday. The event was held in collaboration with the United
American Indians of New England (UAINE), the North American
Indian Center of Boston (NAICOB) and members of the Massachusett
Tribe that all helped increase the city’s engagement with
indigenous communities.
Though Columbus Day is considered a federal holiday, 14 states
and more than 130 local governments have chosen to replace it or
just not observe it. In Massachusetts, more than two dozen
communities honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day, with Boston becoming
the latest city.
...
Former Boston mayor Marty Walsh didn’t support replacing the
holiday and Janey’s executive order was not announced as part of
the public schedule until Tuesday night.[/quote]
Well done Mayor Janey!

Again, note the Turanian composition.
Let's hope "Expect us" means they will actually pull it down
next time.
