Museum offers to display toppled Colorado monument
A history
museum in Colorado has offered to display the Civil War statue toppled by
protesters outside of the state Capitol earlier this summer. History Colorado
said it would display the statue, which depicts a Union cavalryman, along with
an explanation for why it was created, KUSA-TV reported. A petition to remove the statue in 2017
falsely claimed it depicted Col. John Chivington, who orchestrated the Sand
Creek Massacre, which killed more than 150 people, including Native Americans.
