Cleveland has an Abraham Lincoln statue similar to one removed in Boston
Lincoln statue at Soldiers and Sailors monument By Michelle Nicks | December 31, 2020 at 8:54 PM EST - Updated December 31 at 8:54 PM
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - It made headlines this week. A statue of President Abraham Lincoln standing over a newly freed slave was removed in downtown Boston and put into storage for now.
19 News did some digging, and we found a similar monument exists here in Cleveland.
There is a seven-foot-high, ten-foot-wide cast bronze panel of President Abraham Lincoln in a similar pose in the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument on Public Square.
A statue of a formerly enslaved man on his knees in front of President Abraham Lincoln in a Boston public park was dismantled this week after 141 years when it was erected.
The removal of the Emancipation Group statue in Park Square comes months after the Boston Art Commission voted to remove the statue which has stood in Park Square since 1879 by the end of year, according to the Boston Herald.
The decision came in June following the nationwide protests that took place following the death of George Floyd, a Black man, by a white police officer. We re pleased to have taken it down this morning, a spokeswoman for Mayor Marty Walsh said in a statement to CNN.
