Philadelphia Mayor Kenney Sued for Ethnic Discrimination
The plaintiffs alleged that the mayor’s executive orders discriminated against Italian-Americans while exalting another ethnic group.
Also cited are actions to remove the statue of Christopher Columbus from south Philadelphia and a statue of ex-mayor Frank Rizzo last year from near City Hall.
The filing alleged that Kenney “took unilateral actions against two iconic Italian American statues prominently displayed for decades the Frank L. Rizzo from the plaza at the Municipal Services Building and the attempted removal of the 140-year-old Christopher Columbus statue from Marconi Plaza.”
The suit continues to say, “No other statues in the City (amongst the many hundreds) have been targeted by the Mayor.”
