While the city plans to clean the Columbus statue of the vandalism, some people believe his statue should share the fate of the Foster statue and Parran Hall.
Tim McNulty, spokesperson for Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, explained that any decision regarding the Columbus statue was up to the city’s Art Commission.
The decision regarding the Stephen Foster statue was also in the hands of the city’s Art Commission.
After it was relocated, the city promised to replace Foster’s statue with a monument to a prominent African-American woman.
