Description
Images of workmen working to remove a New York statue of former US president Theodore Roosevelt, which has been long criticized as a racist and colonialist symbol and became a cultural flashpoint in recent years. The statue depicts Roosevelt, a distant relative of one of his White House successors, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, on horseback with Native American and African American figures standing at his side.
