Boston Mayor Marty Walsh says the city will remove the Christopher Columbus statue temporarily in the North End after it was beheaded Tuesday night.
“We are going to be taking the statue down this morning and putting it into storage to assess the damage of the statue. This particular statue has been subject to repeated vandalism here in Boston. And given the conversations we’re certainly having right now in our city of Boston and throughout the country, we’re also going to take time to assess the historic meaning of the statue,” Walsh said.
