This is great news as the tide is changing. In Columbus Ohio a 3-ton statue of Chris Columbus, who the state capital was named after, is being taken out of storage after the old city council removed the gift from their sister city in Italy.
Other statues of our nations founders are being restored as well as some Confederate statues.
It's even happening at sports venues.
Nobody is perfect and if you look hard enough in the lives of any historical figure you'll find something objectionable by today's standards. That does not negate their role in history nor should we be removing their statues.
Don't like an historical figure? Ignore their statues. Don't tear them down. Go put up one for somebody you like somewhere else.

In December 2025, a stone highway marker honoring Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee suddenly appeared in Marion Square, planted alongside a major thoroughfare in a hub of picnics, farmers markets and celebrations in Charleston, South Carolina.
At a subsequent meeting of the city's Commission on History, Dale Theiling, one of the commissioners, explained that Charleston had agreed to release the monument to the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The group dropped a lawsuit against the city that it had filed after the statue was pulled from a public school in 2021 and put in storage.

In March, Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers announced on social media the return to public view of a "One Riot, One Ranger" statue at the ballpark. The 12-foot bronze sculpture of a Texas Ranger had been removed from Dallas Love Field airport during the 2020 riots after claims that the officer who served as the model for the statue-a tribute to the law enforcement agency-sided with opponents to desegregation of a public high school in 1956.
