If he was a Madigan around nowadays he'd be a member of some victim's group: the fundamentalist Christians, the abused cowboys, the gays, whatever the fuck

The centerpiece is such a monstrosity. Perfect example of a receding civilization. The surrounding walls are a nice touch with the names embedded. It could have been combined with another design such as the young Harriet Tubman statue with the Newark history and it's parallel with Tubman designsAfrican Americans imprinted on her dress.

He didn't discover it; there were already people here. And he thought he was in India the whole time...

He discovered America is what he did. He was a brave Italian explorer. And in this house, Christopher Columbus is a hero. End of story!

They didnt destroy the statue, it will likely be put in a musuem where his story will be told, good and bad.

Christopher Columbus, who we should remember enslaved many native Americans and while governor of Hispaniola would have the bodies of the native Tiano he killed paraded through the streets, has many streets, cities, towns, universities and even our nation's capital named after him. I think he's gotten enough recognition.
There's no shortage of famous and important people from Italy. No need to hold on to the legacy of one man with so much blood on his hands.

My father was a Knight of Columbus: an Italian American and I paid money to the American Italian Anti-Defamation League counsel, we're the victims here

We talked about that in class actually in the context of Cory Bookers first run for mayor in 2002. They have no idea about so much of this history, up to and including the 1967 revolt.

Too bad they weren't around for Sharpe James dynasty. He kept Newark a violent wasteland for like 2 decades in order to cover up his and his cronies criminal behavior. They'd be praying for a Mayor like Ras Baraka that actually cares about this city and the people in it like we were back then.
