Dear Friends,

The Christopher Columbus statue destroyed in Baltimore has been carefully restored, and President Trump’s decision to place it on the grounds of the White House is a meaningful show of support—not only for our community, but for all who contributed to the founding and growth of our country.

Regardless of political views, this action deserves recognition and appreciation.

At a time when the legacy of Christopher Columbus continues to be challenged, the President’s decision helps counter a false and damaging narrative and affirms the importance of preserving our shared history.

Thank you for standing with us in this effort.
