Empty Statue Pedestal Mt Tabor Park

In October 2020 the statue in Mt Tabor Park of Harvey W Scott was toppled by demonstrators. The granite plinth engraved with the inscription: "Pioneer, Editor, Publisher and molder of public opinion in Oregon and the nation" was vandalized with the word “COLONIZER” added above “Pioneer”. Harvey W Scott was editor of The Oregonian newspaper from 1866–1872. The statue was found toppled to the ground on the morning of 20 October 2020 following a series of statue removals during racial justice protests in Portland. On 20 February 2021, a sculpture entitled Bust of York, by an unidentified artist, appeared on the same pedestal.
