'Racist' statue of subjugated American Indian on way to removal from Civic Center
 
A Civic Center statue that depicts a conquering vaquero and a missionary standing over a fallen and nearly naked American Indian man is a step closer to being removed, after a unanimous decision Wednesday by the San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission. The city Arts Commission had already agreed, also unanimously, to remove the "Early Days" sculpture from its pedestal at the base of the Pioneer Monument just east of City Hall. But the plan needed the preservation commission's sign-off because it's located in a historic district. The Arts Commission is expected to make a final decision in March or April.
