Removal of slavery advocate statue begins in S. Carolina

Removal of slavery advocate statue begins in S. CarolinaSeveral hundred people gathered in Marion Square, in the historic South Carolina city of Charleston, early Wednesday to watch the removal of a statue of former vice president and slavery advocate John C. Calhoun. Another piece of equipment that appeared to have pulleys attached was being raised to the height of the statue from Calhoun Street, the roadway that marks the southern border of the square where the statue sits and also bears his name. The resolution authorized the removal of the statue of the former U.S. vice president and senator from South Carolina.
