Slavery Defender Statue Removed in Maryland

  • 7 years ago
The memory of a 19th century pro slavery chief justice was honored with a statue in Maryland until now. Local authorities have just decided to remove Roger Taney's statue. "While we cannot hide from our history - nor should we - the time has come to make clear the difference between properly acknowledging our past and glorifying the darkest chapters of our history," Maryland Governor, Larry Hogan said.
