BALTIMORE -- Protesters toppled a statue of Christopher Columbus Saturday night, in the latest instance of a monument depicting a colonizer, or slavery advocate, being taken down.
The statue was located in Baltimore's Little Italy neighborhood. Videos showed the demonstrators erupting in cheers and applause as it was pulled down:
The Baltimore Sun said the statue was dedicated in 1984, and is one of three monuments in the city dedicated to Christopher Columbus.
