The woke mob had already torn down monuments of Ulysses S. Grant, Abraham Lincoln, Hans Christian Heg and vandalized the 54th Massachusetts Memorial on Boston Common.

Democrat and Chronicle:

“On the same weekend in which famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass 168 years ago delivered one of his most historically resonant speeches, a statue of Douglass was toppled from its base and left near the Genesee River gorge.

Located in Maplewood Park, the statue “had been placed over the fence to the gorge and was leaning against the fence” on the river side, according to a statement from Rochester police. The statue was left about 50 feet from its pedestal.

The base and lower part of the statue was damaged, as was a finger on the statue’s left hand. …

Across the United States, Douglass’ July 5, 1852 speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” has been shared widely on social media and elsewhere as a reminder of the country’s legacy of slavery and racism. …”

How fitting.

The historically ignorant little Maoists tore down a monument of Frederick Douglass on the anniversary of his most famous speech.
