Not for the first time, the statue of Christopher Columbus on Boston’s North End waterfront was badly vandalized several weeks ago: Its head was knocked to the ground. In the past, the statue has always been repaired and restored, but this time the vandals will get their way. Mayor Marty Walsh told reporters that the damaged monument will be removed indefinitely, so that, “given the conversations that we’re having right now,” officials can “take time to assess the historic meaning of the statue.” I’m guessing the statue won’t be coming back.
