Baltimore refused the statue.

In 2020, it was torn down and thrown into nearby Fountain Lake by protesters in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. The statue was later restored and relocated in front of the Rockland Lodge Order of the Sons of Italy in Blauvelt, New York.
After being vandalized and thrown into a lake by leftist protesters in Virginia, the statue of Christopher Columbus was relocated to New York through an initiative led by Italian Americans. pic.twitter.com/ycxzq0btjN
