\n A statue of Christopher Columbus was taken down in Columbus, Ohio Wednesday morning amid renewed criticism over the legacy of the explorer.<\/p>\n

Crews arrived around 3 a.m. with a crane to remove the bronze statue from its perch outside the Columbus City Hall, news<\/a> station WBNS reported.<\/p>\n

The statue, which will be placed for safekeeping in a city facility, had been a gift from the people of Genoa, Italy in 1955.<\/p>\n

But Columbus\u2019 namesake city has experienced renewed calls to reevaluate symbols associated with him \u2014 as critics characterize him as a symbol of white supremacy responsible for the destruction of indigenous cultures.<\/p>\n

Mayor Andrew Ginther announced last month that the statue would be coming down, saying it doesn\u2019t represent the city\u2019s values, news station WSYX reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor many people in our community, the statue represents patriarchy, oppression and divisiveness,\u201d Ginther said. \u201cThat does not represent our great city, and we will no longer live in the shadow of our ugly past.\u201d<\/p>\n

He asked the Columbus Art Commission to evaluate the diversity and inclusiveness of all public art, including other monuments, statues, and art installations.<\/p>\n

Several statues of Columbus across the country have been vandalized or torn down in recent weeks \u2014 including one toppled by protesters in Richmond, Virginia, and another that was beheaded in Camden, New Jersey.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
