Theodore Roosevelt statue removed from American Museum of Natural History
A statue of Theodore Roosevelt that has stood in front of the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan for more than 80 years was hauled away Wednesday, photos show.
The bronze monument depicting the nation’s 26th president on a horse flanked by an African man and a Native American man — which has sparked protests for glorifying colonialism and racism — was yanked out with a crane just after midnight, leaving behind only its concrete pedestal.

The spirit of the Great Heart has left NYC.
As it should. There is no place for men like Theodore Roosevelt in US urban areas.
Exactly.
When this crap started in Portland over a year ago, I was stuck in Cottage Grove with a horrible man after the fire.. supposedly a good conservative. He insisted I meet his lifelong best friend.. a radical democrat feminist bitch who sat there and bragged that Jefferson statue had just been destroyed. I walked out and said I don’t eat with traitors. I may be a bitch, but at least I am one who loves this country unlike well behaved sell outs!
They also removed a statue of Thomas Jefferson last year when DeBlasio was in power. THOMAS JEFFERSON!!! just as Trump predicted!

Roosevelt was a New Yorker. And a progressive President.
I guess no historical figure is safe from these crazies.
“I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it.” - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (28 September 1868 – 13 April 1956), who wrote under the pseudonym S. G. Tallentyre, was an English writer best known for her biography of Voltaire entitled The Life of Voltaire, first published in 1903. She also wrote The Friends of Voltaire, which she completed in 1906.
Not since his death 7½ years ago, for sure.
Wondering that myself!
A 20 foot statue of Hillarys mentor KKK recruiter Robert Byrd continues to stand in the Capital building.
You just gave up the moron protesters secret how they truly see racism.
Was this the statue that inspired Robin Williams’ part in “Night At The Museum”?
I don’t know, I’ve never seen it but I do know that movie was filmed at the Natural history museum which is where that statue is/was located.
Must be then. Robin Williams played a statue of Teddy Roosevelt (on horseback) that came to life every night.
Orwell seems to have understood that power comes not only from the barrel of a rifle, but also from the ability to erase history by altering the written word (the 1619 Project and CRT), by changing language (”birthing people” or “chest feeders”) or by removing statues reflecting our past. How long until the Washington Monument is torn down to demonstrate how We The People (or some of us) must reject our first President because he was a slave owner?
