Statues toppled across cities linked to founding figures
In numerous cities mobs tore down statues of Washington Jefferson Roosevelt and others, with police unable to stop the vandalism. A Roosevelt statue may soon be removed at New York's Natural History Museum entrance, while a Jackson statue in Lafayette Park was saved by federal officers amid broad anti historic monument protests. The piece cites debate over the 1619 Project and growing unease as the trend spreads.
