Once stored away, the statue was revived by the National Parks Service in April after State Senator Eric Buckson campaigned for its return since 2022, insisting the full truth — including Rodney’s ownership of 200 enslaved people — must be told. While Delaware officials debate its future home — with Senator Buckson favoring Legislative Hall in Dover — Governor Matt Meyer supports its return if presented with honest context. Meanwhile, discussions about the Columbus statue continue, but no new plans have emerged. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
