List of monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests

A number of monuments and memorials were destroyed, removed or plans to remove them were announced, during the riots[1] that followed the May 2020 killing of George Floyd, most of them in the United States. Some of these monuments have been the subject of lengthy, years-long efforts to remove them, sometimes involving legislation and/or court proceedings. In some cases the removal was official; in others, most notably in Alabama, laws prohibiting their removal were deliberately broken. Many monuments, memorials, and statues have been defaced, burned or destroyed.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

The J. E. B. Stuart Monument, defaced during the George Floyd protests in Richmond, Virginia, is scheduled to be removed by the city.
The empty spot at the Columbus State Community College where a statue of Christopher Columbus once stood.

Removals first focused on monuments to the Confederate States of America, its leaders, and its military. In addition to the removal of statues and murals, numerous schools and buildings were renamed. The U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines announced they were prohibiting display of the Confederate battle flag on their installations, and NASCAR did the same for its grounds.

The subjects of the protests expanded; in the United States many statues of Christopher Columbus were removed, as his arrival in the Western hemisphere marked the beginning of the genocide of Native American people. Many local figures connected with racism were also the subject of protests and monument removals. A statue of Union soldier and abolitionist Hans Christian Heg, who fought against slavery, was torn down by rioters. Two protestors interviewed by the media alleged that toppling the statue was to draw attention to their view of Wisconsin as being racially unjust.[2][3]

In the United Kingdom, Black Lives Matter activists attacked monuments to people involved in the trans-Atlantic slave trade and British imperialism. In Belgium, one statue and two busts of King Leopold II were removed, and many were defaced. In New Zealand, a statue of John Fane Charles Hamilton was removed.

Monuments and memorials

The following monuments and memorials were removed during the George Floyd protests, mainly due to their childish delusion of riots and some connections to racism. The majority are in the United States and mostly commemorate the Confederate States of America (CSA), but some monuments were also removed in other countries, for example the statues of slave traders in the United Kingdom.

Notes:

  •      The monument or memorial is scheduled to be removed but is still standing.
  • Dates are in 2020 unless otherwise specified.

United States

The following monuments and memorials were removed during the George Floyd protests due to their association with racism in the United States. Most commemorated people involved in the Lost Cause of the Confederacy, with others linked to the genocide of Native Americans, segregation in the United States, and related issues.

Confederate States of America
For a broader overview of this topic, including removals before the George Floyd protests, see Removal of Confederate monuments and memorials.

The CSA fought a four-year war to preserve the institution of slavery in the Southern states, before being defeated and seeing all enslaved African Americans becoming free. Confederate monuments usually commemorate CSA politicians or Confederate States Army officers. Most are in the former CSA.

Virginia, where the CSA had its capital in Richmond, has the most Confederate monuments of any U.S. state. A March 2020 change in the law of Virginia had already essentially repealed the statute preventing removal of historical monuments, effective from July 1, 2020. This change became possible when voters, after electing the Democrat Ralph Northam as Governor in 2017, gave the Democrats control of both houses of the Virginia General Assembly from January 2020, for the first time in a generation.[66]

Belgium

King Leopold II of Belgium personally ruled the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908, treating it as his personal property. During this period, many well-documented atrocities were perpetrated against the population, including the severing of hands of workers unable to meet a production quota for rubber, and the destruction of entire villages that were unwilling to participate in the forced labour regime. These acts contributed to a significant population decline during this period, often estimated at between five million and ten million.
