Vandals have covered a Rhode Island statue of the 15th century explorer Christopher Columbus in red paint for Columbus Day.
Residents of Providence awoke on Monday morning to find a statue of the explorer covered in red paint with a sign that read, “Stop celebrating genocide.” The word “genocide” was painted on the back of the statue in orange paint.
