Room for Columbus Too in 21st Century America.

 Chicago Tribune:

Good morning, Chicago.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s long-delayed review of Chicago monuments still isn’t completed, but the mayor has restated her pledge to return a Christopher Columbus statue to its prominent pedestal in Grant Park — the site of a bloody clash between police and demonstrators nearly two years ago. Acknowledging the security issues that could arise with a return of the statue, the mayor said: “I’m not going to do anything that puts our officers in harm’s way.”

Good. Other people's traditions matter in America too.  Don't destroy what you cannot rebuild...
