Christopher Columbus Statue Beheaded in Boston’s North End by Matt Conti, NorthEndWaterfront.com The head of Christopher Columbus was torn off over- night Tuesday from the statue in the namesake park on the waterfront in Boston’s North End. Offi cials are investigating but do not have any suspects at this time. The statue has been repeat- edly vandalized and defaced over the years. Most recently, it was doused with red paint and the text “Black Lives Matter” in 2015. The head was last cut off in 2006.
