Some were destroyed.

There's one at the bottom of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, a statue of Columbus.

But a lot of the statues were put into storage.

For example, a very large statue of Christopher Columbus that was removed from the city hall of Columbus, Ohio.

It is in a city warehouse on its back with yellow caution tape around it.

So a lot of them have just been sitting around out of public view.

And traditionalists are wanting to get these statues back up, and in some cases are starting to win.

So there was a statue of a Texas Ranger that had stood at a airport in Dallas for a long time.

And it was believed to be modeled after a particular person.

who was a very prominent Texas Ranger in the 50s and 60s.

And that person was sent to schools that were being desegregated, and it is alleged that he took the side of the segregationists.

Now, that is in dispute, but that is why the statue was taken away.

Yes, the statue is entitled One Riot, One Ranger, and it refers to this particular event from a long, long time ago in which apparently one Texas ranger stopped a riot by himself.

That is sort of what it's supposed to be.

Others argue that it's based on this particular person and that it brings up a lot of ugly history in Texas.

So there were calls for that statue to be removed, and it was.

and it sat in storage for years.

It has just reappeared at the Texas Ranger baseball team stadium, causing a furor, with people calling for that statue to be removed, and it's divisive, and other people saying it never should have been taken away in the first place.

There was a highway marker that's a tribute to Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general, and that monument was removed, and it's now back.

Everybody looks at a statue, and they're going to see something different about...
