"We are calling out, once again, for the mayor to meet with us to discuss the safe return of the statues," said Ron Onesti, president of the Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans. "We expect her to honor her words and stick to her position regarding not erasing history." The statues were removed in July 2020, following protests grew out of the national outcry and protests over the murder of George Floyd and fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor.
The Grant Park statue was the focus of a protest that turned into a violent clash between Chicago police and protesters after protesters tried to tear it down.
