Richie Greenberg and Erica Sandberg today discuss Christopher Columbus, the statue dedicated to him in Coit Tower North Beach neighborhood which was removed in 2020 by protesters during early Covid lockdowns, Italian immigrants in San Francisco, the Columbus Day parade and how removing a statue make little sense when society instead needs to know its past. The role of the San Francisco Arts Commission which audits all public displayed art and decides which stays and which goes.
