People protesting outside City Hall and large Columbus statue

Historical photo of the time before the bronze statue of Christopher Columbus was removed by order of the Columbus City Council on July 8, 2020.  In the long shadow of the setting sun, the statue of the OG Colonizer Christopher Columbus looms over a protest of police killings of African Americans at the Columbus City Hall on June 11, 2020, by De-Escalate Ohio Now! Heartbeat Movement, Protect Our Stolen Treasures, and BLM, significantly the descendants of the survivors of the colonization of Africa and the Americas.
