A Theodore Roosevelt statue has been removed from outside of the American Museum of Natural History. Theodore Roosevelt was one of the best US presidents ever, and usually ranks in the top 5. He was under criticism though, since he was partially racist. And nowadays, the public takes racism very seriously, as we have seen with the George Floyd protest that happened a year or two ago. The statue was removed just after midnight, so only its pedestal remains now. It has been there for over 80 years, and is a bronze monument. It has been removed for controversial reasons, since the statue shows Theodore Roosevelt on a horse, with a African man and a Native American man following him. This statue will be sent and put in the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota.
