Watch: Protestors topple statue of Christopher Columbus, then spit on it, in St Paul, Minnesota, USA
Columbus’ statues were brought down elsewhere in America too.
Destroy all the statues. Spit on the shameful history.

On Wednesday, activists with a Native American advocacy group tossed a rope around a statue of Christopher Columbus, tugged it to the ground, danced and spit on the statue.

That ☝🏽was in St. Paul, Minnesota. Demonstrators also pulled down statues of Christopher Columbus in Richmond, Virginia, and decapitated another in Boston, targeting monuments of settler colonialism and white supremacy. https://t.co/IqUeSUggEO
