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. • Article
