A bronze monument depicting Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, situated in front of New York City’s American Museum of Natural History will be relocated over claims that the statue symbolizes colonialism.
On Monday, The New York City Public Design Commission unanimously approved a measure to relocate the statue, which depicts Roosevelt on horseback, flanked by a Native American and black man on foot, to an institution celebrating Roosevelt’s legacy.
The monument has been in place since 1940.
The development comes as dozens of statues depicting historic Americans have been removed across the country following protests and riots over the death of Georgie Floyd.
In June 2020, museum officials proposed removing the statue. The museum is on city-owned property and Mayor Bill de Blasio supported the removal of the “problematic statue.”

He was a real man.
Even with the dress when he was a kid. Which was common at the time.

Thank You Nikki Haley
No sin too small, no act too selfless, no virtue too admirable to draw the rebuke of the woke
Cancel America Mob.
He was a soldier.....enough said!!!
Outrageous and pathetic. Very sad to see our history being erased right in front of us.
Yes! She’s the one who actually got this movement started. It also shows why we should never have a non-natural born Citizen in any place of government authority.
It truly is.
America needs a major enema
meanwhile, a few blocks from the Museum of Natural history runs the FDR highway- a highway named after the racist left wing president who dragged Japanese-Americans from their homes and stuck them in internment camps.....go figure.
Progressives eating their own again.
Exactly!
Some people still don’t get it. This is about removing this country’s connection to its past. It’s part of their revolution.
Robin Williams would not be happy.

That’s right, she was one of the first to assist the cultural revolution. Never forget.
They trolled this last year. I thought it had already been done. Imagine, moving the statue of the first President to invite a black man...Booker T. Washington to the White House to dine with his family, and the only U.S. President to receive The Congressional Medal of Honor (2001).
Say what you will about Robin, but he sure had Biden pegged.....
