TAKING DOWN STATUES

When asked my take 
on taking down statues, 
I find myself saying, 
"It's easier to take down statues 
than to take down from a pedestal, 
a mind set in stone or bronze."

Andrew Jackson Costello

For the sake of transparency I was named after two Andrews: Saint Andrew Avellino and Andrew Jackson. I'm sure folks can find faults with both - especially Andrew Jackson.

St. Andrew Avellino

Andrew Jackson statue
in Lafayette Park,
Washington, D.C.
within site of the White House.
It is the earliest bronze statue 
in the United States 
and the first one in the world 
of a horse on just two legs.
