Statue Of Theodore Roosevelt Prepped To Be Taken Down Outside The American Museum Of Natural History

NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 02: Construction workers erect scaffolding around the President Theodore Roosevelt statue at the American Museum of Natural History as it is prepared for removal on December 2, 2021 in New York City. The American Museum of Natural History has requested that the City of New York and Mayor Bill de Blasio remove the statue as part of a movement to remove racist monuments across the country. In a statement, the museum added that the statue itself communicates a racial hierarchy that the museum and members of the public have long found disturbing.(Photo by David Dee Delgado/Getty Images)
