Columbus Statue

The Columbus Monument Corp. could re-file their lawsuit on a technicality.

The statue can be removed, but those who don't want it to be say that would destroy a part of the city's history

A court decision could pave the way for the removal or relocation of the Columbus Monument in Syracuse's Columbus Circle. Onondaga nation and City officials applauded the decision, though those trying to preserve the statue promise more court action to stop it from being taken down.

The Onondaga Nation hopes to be heard in court in early 2023 on why the nation and its people want the Columbus monument in Syracuse moved from its current location.

The future of the Christopher Columbus statue is at the center of an ongoing court battle between the city and an organization that supports the monument.

Groups both for and against Columbus statue share their opinions after judge's ruling to keep it. City of Syracuse intends to appeal.

Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh says he’s confident the law is on the city’s side as the future of the Columbus monument awaits a judge’s decision. Supporters of relocating the monument held a vigil Thursday ahead of a court hearing. Walsh says the city has been very careful to follow the process to legally relocate the monument.

Organizations and community members who are in favor of removing the Christopher Columbus statue in Syracuse gathered outside the Onondaga County Courthouse on Thursday in advance of a case was to be heard by a judge. A petition was filed in May of 2021 by the Columbus Monument Corporation after Mayor Ben Walsh announced his intensions to have it removed, following public outcry.
