After more than 100 years, the Stephen Foster statue in Pittsburgh has been removed A 118-year-old statue of "Oh! Susanna" songwriter and Pittsburgh native Stephen Foster was removed by city workers on Thursday morning. The statue, by sculptor Giuseppe Moretti, was unveiled in 1900 and moved to its location near Schenley Plaza in Oakland in 1940. © Provided by Hearst Television, Inc.The statue has drawn controversy because it depicts Foster with a slave at his feet, strumming a banjo. "It's been a long process. There have been criticisms about this statue for decades, and it finally came to a head last year in the context of other controversies around the country of Confederate statues," said Tim McNulty, a spokesman for Mayor Bill Peduto. "Obviously this is a little bit different, but the city's Art Commission found that it was no longer appropriate in a city space." Peduto's office is leading a community effort to replace the statue of Foster, whose songs also included "Camptown Races," ''My Old Kentucky Home" and "Old Folks at Home" (Swanee River). "Hopefully it will be replaced with a statue of an African-American woman," McNulty said. "There are no statues of African-American women in the whole city of Pittsburgh, and that's the hope for its replacement." Community forums are being held to collect more feedback in selecting the woman who will be honored. The two remaining forums will be held May 1 at the Sheraden Healthy Active Living Center from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and May 3 at the Hill House Association on Centre Avenue from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Sharkie, NAzi punk tRumptards should not be welcome anywhere Businesses should be free to deny them service. Just like businesses should be free to deny servicing gay customers. Of course, to a libtard like you, "equal protection" means one group of people is "more equal" than another. Tenchusatsu

so now you can boot someone for their politics, so if you don't want to bake a cake for a homo, you just ask them who they voted for and then deny to bake their cake, that judge set a bad precedent, typical fascist
