Cancel Mob Victory: Theodore Roosevelt Monument at NYC Museum to Be Relocated
A bronze monument depicting Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, situated in front of New York City’s American Museum of Natural History will be relocated over claims that the statue symbolizes colonialism.
On Monday, The New York City Public Design Commission unanimously approved a measure to relocate the statue, which depicts Roosevelt on horseback, flanked by a Native American and black man on foot, to an institution celebrating Roosevelt’s legacy.PoliticsSocial JusticeAmerican Museum of Natural HistoryNew York CityTheodore Roosevelt!
