Havana, Oct 19 (Prensa Latina) The Jose Marti National Library of Cuba (Bncjm) celebrated 121 years of safeguarding culture, enlivening the intellect of those who visit it at present to learn about the documentary, bibliographical, artistic and sound of the country.
In August, the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans demanded that Columbus statues be returned to Grant and Arrigo parks by Columbus Day and protected at city expense. It didn’t happen, but the two sides are talking.
Mayor Lightfoot reiterated that she doesn’t “believe in erasing history.” That’s why she’s been “talking to lots of folks about what can we do, how can we do it” to secure the Columbus statues.
