Walt Whitman statue, a target of protests, to be removed from center of Rutgers–Camden campus
July 12, 2021
‘Stood for white supremacy and racism against Black and Indigenous Americans,’ critics said
Rutgers University-Camden will remove a statue of the famous poet Walt Whitman from the center of campus as a result of activists’ petitions and a recommendation from a committee of scholars.
The statue of Whitman, featured prominently in the front courtyard of Camden’s Campus Center, will be “relocated to a historically relevant site on campus and contextualized,” interim Chancellor Margaret Marsh recently announced in an email to students and employees.
