\n BALTIMORE \u2014 Baltimore protesters pulled down a statue of Christopher Columbus and threw it into the city\u2019s Inner Harbor on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators used ropes to topple the monument near the Little Italy neighborhood, news<\/a> outlets reported.<\/p>\n

Protesters mobilized by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police have called for the removal of statues of Columbus, Confederate figures and others. They say the Italian explorer is responsible for the genocide and exploitation of native peoples in the Americas.<\/p>\n

According to The Baltimore Sun, the statue was owned by the city and dedicated in 1984 by former Mayor William Donald Schaefer and President Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Baltimore Mayor Bernard C. \u201cJack\u201d Young told The Sun the toppling of the statue is a part of a national and global reexamination over monuments \u201cthat may represent different things to different people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand the dynamics that are playing out in Baltimore are part of a national narrative,\u201d Lester Davis said.<\/p>\n

Statues of Columbus have also been toppled or vandalized in cities such as Miami; Richmond, Virginia; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Boston, where one was decapitated.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
