New York City removes Jefferson statue
Left-wing activists want to remove statues of our great American patriots.
Left-wing activists have succeeded in convincing New York City to remove a statue to Thomas Jefferson.
The New York Post reported:
Art handlers packed up an 884-pound statue of Jefferson in a wooden crate Monday after a mayoral commission voted to banish the likeness of the nation’s third president from City Hall where its resided for nearly two centuries — because he owned slaves.
About a dozen workers with Marshall Fine Arts spent several hours carefully removing the painted plaster monument from its pedestal inside the City Council chambers and surrounding it with sections of foam and wooden boards.
“The 1833 statue will be on a long-term loan to the New York Historical Society, which plans to have Jefferson’s model survive in its lobby and reading room,” the Post reported.
