A nearly century-old statue of the Revolutionary War hero Gen. Philip Schuyler was removed from Albany city hall Saturday morning.
Despite his prominence in American history, Schuyler came in for criticism after the death of George Floyd and the subsequent riots carried out around the country in 2020.A moving crew took nearly three hours to haul the general away to his new home at a storage facility.Twitter/@papertopress
Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan ordered Schuyler’s removal in June 2020 during the height of the unrest, but the project had languished for years pending the results of an engineering study. The removal follows a similar trend around the state of iconic statues being removed to satisfy progressive demands.The nine-foot depiction of Schuyler may also contain a time capsule with maps, coins, and other items dating from its unveiling in 1925, according to reports.
