A controversial monument to a doctor who experimented on slaves became the
target of protesters who rallied at New York City Central Park on Saturday.
The national conversation about Confederate statues following the violence
in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend led activists here to renew their push
to tear down the bronze likeness of Dr. J. Marion Sims.
“Memorializing of imperialist slaveholders, murderers and torturers like J.
Marion Sims is white supremacy,” said Rossanna Mercedes, 27, a member of
Black Youth Project 100.
“We will no longer allow government institutions like the New York City
Parks Department to passively allow symbols of oppression.” |
