芝加哥拆除哥伦布雕像，并计划对所有纪念碑进行审查

芝加哥周五临时移走了两座克里斯托弗-哥伦布的雕像，并宣布将重新评估其他所有纪念碑的适当性。在与 "利益相关者 "协商后，芝加哥市长Lightfoot下令拆除芝加哥大型休闲区格兰特公园的哥伦布雕像，以及小意大利区的另一座雕像。新闻视频显示，工作人员使用起重机在黎明前的黑暗中拆除了雕像，留下了光秃秃的基座。一周前，抗议者曾试图推翻其中一座雕像，导致与警察发生暴力冲突。争取种族平等的抗议者将目标对准了全美各地的哥伦布纪念碑，挑战美国教育中对他的英雄形象，抗议者们认为这些英雄形象淡化或忽视了这位探险家对美洲土著人的残忍行为。

Chicago temporarily removed two statues of Christopher Columbus on Friday and announced it would reassess the appropriateness of all its monuments, a week after protesters had tried to topple one of the statues, leading to a violent clash with police. Protesters for racial equality have targeted Columbus monuments across the United States, challenging heroic portrayals of him in American education that downplay or ignore the explorer’s cruelty toward indigenous people of the Americas. After consulting with “stakeholders,” Lightfoot ordered the removal of statues in Grant Park, Chicago’s large recreation area, and another in the Little Italy district, the statement said. Crews using cranes removed the statues in the predawn darkness, news video showed, leaving bare pedestals.  source
