George Washington University political science professor slams 'disgraceful' removal of Thomas Jefferson statue from NYC's City Hall
|
- [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Samuel Goodman, writing in Bari Weiss' Common Sense Substack newsletter, made the case in a piece titled 'What We Lose When We Lose Thomas Jefferson'
- The statue, which had stood in the City Council chamber since 1915, is being removed and likely sent off somewhere by the New York Historical Society
- Goodman argues that the statue's removal is separate from the removal of Confederate monuments across America and called the move 'disgraceful'
- New York City Council's Black, Latino and Asian Caucus called the statue a monument to 'the disgusting and racist basis on which America was founded'
- During a hearing Monday, the Public Design Commission voted to remove the statue before the end of the year
- The request for its removal came from the Commission on Racial Justice and Reconciliation, led by outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio's wife Charlene McCray
