APRIL 2022 UPDATES ON NOON EFFORTS
The Columbus Statue in downtown Syracuse still looms, physically and figuratively, over residents of the area. NOON remains committed to assisting the efforts to remove it from its current location, so that Columbus and the legacy of genocidal settler colonialism that he represents no longer receive such public celebration in Syracuse. On March 11th, in a temporary setback, the judge presiding over the lawsuit brought by the Columbus Monument Corporation—a group of citizens attempting to prevent the City of Syracuse from executing its plan to remove the statue—issued a decision against the City.
