IMAGERY DESCRIBED:NOOSE,"HORRIFYING",COLUMBUS STATUE DESTROYED-- A "RE-EXAMINATION."
GRA:Words such as "horrifying,repugnant" etc for the noose,just the opposite for the destruction of historical white statues.
(WTOP)BALTIMORE-- “We find such racist imagery horrifying and repugnant and a direct threat to the Black community at Johns Hopkins and in Baltimore, standing in stark opposition to the values of equity, justice, and humanity to which we are firmly committed.”
Representatives of general contractor Plano-Coudon told university officials Thursday that a noose had been found at a site in Baltimore where the firm is renovating a laboratory that is part of the university’s Whiting School of Engineering.
The university’s Office of Institutional Equity is investigating in coordination with the general contractor, Johns Hopkins spokeswoman Karen Lancaster said. Lancaster said the company “has offered its full cooperation and support.”
Daniel Ennis, the university’s senior vice president for administration and finance, said the school has shut down the construction site.
“We take this matter extremely seriously,” he said. “Acts like this have no place in our society.”
GRA:However,tearing down statues of whites DOES have a place,apparently.
(WTOP)BALTIMORE — Baltimore protesters have pulled down a statue of Christopher Columbus and thrown it into the city’s Inner Harbor.
News outlets reported that demonstrators used ropes to topple the monument in the Little Italy neighborhood on Saturday night.
Protesters mobilized by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police have called for the removal of statues of Columbus, Confederate figures and others. They say the Italian explorer is responsible for the genocide and exploitation of native peoples in the Americas.
A spokesman for Baltimore Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young told The Sun the toppling of the statue is a part of a national and global reexamination over monuments “that may represent different things to different people.”
“We understand the dynamics that are playing out in Baltimore are part of a national narrative,” Lester Davis said.
Statues of Columbus have also been toppled or vandalized in cities such as Miami; Richmond, Virginia; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Boston, where one was decapitated.
GRA:Nothing "horrific" or repugnant" mentioned there.
