Remove the Washington Street Hartford, CT Columbus Statue

The Issue

Christopher Columbus was a murderer, a rapist, and a monster. Though he may be long dead, the horrendous legacy he leaves behind is not. By allowing this statue, or any alike, to stand is celebrating one who didn't just marginalize a people, but mutilated them. It is our duty to all pull together in unity to reverse the injustice and racism that started hundreds of years ago and continues to this day. This is just one step, but one we won’t forget about in our fight for justice. This petition is directly demanding for the immediate removal of this statue commemorating a murder, we won’t allow this in our city.
