Professor
Wendy Bellion recently spoke with
National Geographic Magazine about iconoclasm involving statues, a practice that dates back to the American Revolution in the United States. On July 9, 1776, colonial protestors toppled a statue of King George III in Manhattan's Bowling Green Park. This was just one of many actions taken against British symbols at the time.
In the article, entitled
"Pulling Down Statues? It's a Tradition that Dates Back to U.S. Independence," ​Bellion notes that the destruction of statues ​throughout history is "not wholly or principally an act of erasure."​
