WAKE UP CITY OF SYRACUSE

Art. History. Heritage.
The NYS Nat. Guard 249th Reg. led by my Grandfather Guido F. Verbeck marched in the parade the day of the dedication…and he did it because he cared.
Things are heating up. Please help us save this historic work of art.
George Orwell warned in “1984” of a world in which “the past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”
Is that where Mayor Walsh is taking us?
Removing the Columbus Monument is just as silly.
1921: The day Syracuse took a stand against dancing by banning the camel walk, the toddle and the shimmy
In Syracuse you have many symbols of people who came here and did backbreaking work to make a better life for the next generation as did many other cultures. This phenomenon is not unique to Syracuse or the US. In an effort to preserve the Coliseum in Rome some have called for its destruction because of the barbaric history of the place. I say you can’t cancel out history just learn from it
Why erase history? It was the way it was. Let’s build a better future if we decided that we are smarter now than our predecessors. I doubt we are. They built amazing things and they built a beautiful country that still attracts people from all over the world. You don’t have to be very smart to destroy what was built before. And I rest my case.
This monument was put up with money from the Italian, not by the city or county, If this statue that is an historical landmark, needs to come down, then all other statues in the city need to come down as well,. Leave it alone, let’s fix the roads in downtown Syracuse,
