Thread for statue vandalism of anti-slavery figures and other random persons

[American2020]

I can understand the willing to topple confederates statues. But it's sensless to topple those of Union fighters' and abolitionnists.
I don't consider it as justice. It's uneducated bad boys attitude.
It's time to invest on history education.

Frederick Douglass statue in New York vandalized on anniversary weekend of 'What to the Slave is the Fourth of July' speech

On the same weekend in which famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass 168 years ago delivered one of his most historically resonant speeches, a statue of Douglass was toppled from its base and left near the Genesee River gorge.

Located in Maplewood Park, the statue "had been placed over the fence to the gorge and was leaning against the fence" on the river side, according to a statement from Rochester police. The statue was left about 50 feet from its pedestal.
