Protesters in Virginia Say Goodbye to Columbus Statue by Throwing it into a Lake

RICHMOND, Va. - Protesters in Richmond tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus and threw it into a lake on Tuesday night to protest the controversial historical figure as a symbol of racial oppression.

The statue stood in a park in the state's capital city for nearly a century.

WWBT reports the statue was located in Byrd Park on the west side of the city. The protesters threw the statue into nearby Fountain Lake.
