Monday is Columbus Day, also known as Indigenous Peoples' Day. The city of Columbus officially renamed the holiday in 2020, the same year it removed a statue of Christopher Columbus from its pedestal outside City Hall. The statue had stood there for 65 years. Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said the statue didn't reflect the city's values.
While it sits in storage in an undisclosed location, the city is moving into the next phase of a two-year project to figure out what to do with the statue. City of Columbus Special Cultural Projects Coordinator Erin Blue says the city recently finished gathering public input for the Reimagining Columbus project.
