On Saturday (June 13) protesters in New Orleans tore down the bust of a slave owner and threw it into the Mississippi River.

Footage shows a crowd rolling the bust down the rocky banks of the Mississippi River and into the water after it was removed from Duncan Plaza.

@sensitivepapi posted the clip to Twitter with the caption: "Another statue of a slave owner relocated to a more appropriate venue. Bye John McDonogh!"

He told Newsflare: "The John McDonough bust, sanitizing a slaveholder’s life, had no business being in that park. Some say it’s history—but history is best expressed through books and courses providing proper context, not a celebratory monument. Others say it’s art—but it’s less art than a three-dimensional illustration of limited aesthetic merit. Black lives matter.”

Police did not identify the bust but local media identified it as John McDonogh.

New Orleans, June 13. Here’s the final footage of the statue being thrown into the river. It was removed from Duncan Plaza.
