NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The often controversial Christopher Columbus statue is no more. The structure was officially removed on Sunday in a joint effort between the Ministry of Works, the Office of the Prime Minister and the Antiquities, Monuments and Museum Corporation.

His actions caused a huge debate about the historical figure.
