Denver Kit Carson monument removed #134

Open libirose opened 4 years ago

libirose commented 4 years ago

Part of the Pioneer Monument depicting Kit Carson in Denver removed by the city on June 26. The remainder of the monument remains for now. This follows the direct action removal of two other Denver statues in the previous two days. Indigenous groups have been advocating for its removal for 40 years.
