Please keep the Columbus statue, remove the Indian heads, erect a monument next to Columbus to honor Native Americans and put the Indian heads on that monument.

What good is it going to do . You can't change history . Why don't we tear down the White House that would make more sense to me

This is a historic piece of art. The city should sell Columbus circle to the Knights of Columbus for $1.00. Then they should make it forever wild. They wouldn't have to pay any taxes on the land. The Cherokee Indians owned Black slaves. The many tribes of the Iroquois nation fought with the French against the Americans during the French and Indian war. I'm sorry people are offended. Too bad, grow up, its history.

Syracuse has a great Italian community. They have contributed much to our city and Onondaga Co. The statue should remain in front of the cathedral in their honor.

The Columbus statue is considered a Historical monument and needs to be preserved. The Preservation Board needs to make a stand and take action. Why can’t there be a plaque explaining the good of Columbus , the man. Being a navigator, explorer.... Around the circle could also be placed plaques representing the 23 different people’s / cultures that make up the Syracuse community. Then add one more for the future for those who are yet to come. If people feel a need to change the name . A suggestion. Syracuse Community Circle.

My grandfather was Frank Tartaglia, an Italian immigrant who was one of the people who helped fund the statue .
