A statue of a formerly enslaved man on his knees in front of President Abraham Lincoln in a Boston public park was dismantled this week after 141 years when it was erected.
The removal of the Emancipation Group statue in Park Square comes months after the Boston Art Commission voted to remove the statue which has stood in Park Square since 1879 by the end of year, according to the Boston Herald.
The decision came in June following the nationwide protests that took place following the death of George Floyd, a Black man, by a white police officer. We re pleased to have taken it down this morning, a spokeswoman for Mayor Marty Walsh said in a statement to CNN.
Racialist campaign in Boston culminates in removal of statue of Lincoln and emancipated slave
On December 29, city officials removed from downtown Boston a famous statue of Abraham Lincoln and an emancipated slave that has stood for 141 years. This politically reactionary act was the culmination of a campaign, including a petition drive, carried out by racialist elements linked to the Democratic Party.
On July 1, the Boston Art Commission voted unanimously for the removal of the statue. Upon removal of the monument last Tuesday, the city announced that it will be put into storage pending determination of a new location.
The statue in Boston is a copy of the Emancipation Memorial, also known as the Emancipation Group and the Freedman’s Memorial, that was erected in Lincoln Park, in Washington, D.C., in 1876. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)
