Anarcho-communist mob of hysterical iconoclasts attack statues of Fr. Junipero Serra, Miguel de Cervantes, U.G. Grant in San Francisco
Radical Leftists Also Attacked Statue of Miguel de Cervantes, Iconic Writer Who Was a Slave; Spain Objects
We reported earlier on a radical leftist/Antifa action, attacking statues in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.
Among the statues they tore down were St. Junipero Serra, Francis Scott Key, the author of the lyrics of the “Star Spangled Banner” and Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th president of the United States.
The attack on Grant was perhaps the one that left people most stupefied and disturbed since Grant was largely the person responsible for the Union winning the war and putting an end to slavery. He also advocated for the 15the Amendment and signed law that helped crush the KKK in its original form. Grant was lauded by none other than Frederick Douglass as a champion of the oppressed and honored in black churches when he died.
