THE NYC STATUE DEBATE

Clip: 8/28/2017 | 10m 25sVideo has Closed Captions

The statue debate descends over our city.

The statue debate descends over our city: Should Christopher Columbus be removed from Columbus Circle? Should Peter Stuyvesant’s reported anti-Semitism topple his? And was F.D.R. undeserving of the honor of calling that little piece of land in our harbor "Roosevelt Island"? We discuss which statues should remain and which should be removed in the local area.
