Teddy Roosevelt Monument Removed from Museum of Natural History

Teddy Roosevelt has officially been canceled.

Workers have removed the iconic statue that had stood in front of the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan since 1940.

The monument depicts Roosevelt on horseback with an African man and Native American man – both on foot- by his side. “It has been criticized by some as a symbol of colonialism and racism,” according to Reuters.

The Roosevelt statue will be relocated to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota.
