Vandals hit pioneer monument, Washington statue in Minneapolis

Nov 26, 2020

Minneapolis Park Police are investigating after vandals toppled a statue of George Washington and defaced a pioneer monument with anti-colonialist graffiti early Thanksgiving morning.

A statue of Washington, the Revolutionary War general and first American president, was torn from its base in Washburn Fair Oaks Park across from the Minneapolis Institute of Art and splashed with paint.

Several miles away, in northeast Minneapolis’ BF Nelson Park, unknown suspects targeted the large granite “Pioneers Statue,” spraypainting the words “no thanks,” “no more genocide,” “decolonize” and “land back.”
