Abraham Lincoln has joined George Washington on the list of
those targeted by Chicagoans in a national debate over Civil War-
era monuments.
Alderman Raymond Lopez took to Facebook Wednesday night to decry
a defaced statue of the nation’s 16th president in the Englewood >neighborhood. The giant bust appears to have been damaged after
someone in the 15th Ward sprayed and ignited a flammable liquid.
“What an absolute disgraceful act of vandalism. This bust of
Abraham Lincoln, erected by Phil Bloomquist on August 31, 1926,
was damaged & burned,” Mr. Lopez wrote, a local NBC affiliate
reported. “If anyone has any information regarding this act,
please contact the police or my office immediately.”
