Statue of Christopher Columbus, Bronze monument in Civic Center Park, Denver, United States
The fifteen-foot bronze sculpture featured a four-sided human figure encircled by rings representing different directions of the globe.
Denver sculptor William F. Joseph created this statue in 1970, which was later installed on a concrete pedestal in Civic Center Park in 1975.
The statue remained a center of public discourse regarding historical representation until its removal during social justice demonstrations in June 2020.
The bronze figure stood at coordinates 39°44′22″N 104°59′19″W until protesters used ropes to remove it from its concrete foundation.
Originally titled Man of All Nations, the sculpture received its dedication to Christopher Columbus through the patronage of Italian immigrants.
