The Syracuse Columbus Monument is a magnificent work of art and truly an important showpiece for Downtown. Its reflection of the pride and heritage of all Immigrants, not just Italians and their lineage, is undeniable. The Columbus Monument is also a symbol of hope to everyone: for pursuit of economic opportunity and prosperity, religious freedom, and a better life.

Columbus and his crew were the greatest and bravest explorers in history. They landed in the Bahamas, over 1,000 miles away from Central New York. They had nothing to do with the native folks up here.

This shouldn't even be a question. If you need to tear down someone else's heritage to heal, you need therapy.

Keep the monument, destroying history wether it 'upsets' modern sensibiltiies is idiotic. The shared history of Syracuse is what made us who we are, wether cell phone zombies agree or not. Stop the mob destruction, please.

As a Italian American, i feel we need to preserve history and learn and teach from it. Not tear it down.

Give not an inch to the nihilists. We will be damned by history if we let these marxists triumph.
