New York City To Remove Statue Of Controversial Doctor, Dr. James Marion Sims
A statue of J. Marion Sims, a surgeon celebrated by many as the father of modern gynecology, is loaded onto a Parks Department truck after being taken down from its pedestal at Central Park and East 103rd Street on April 17, 2018 in New York City. A New York City panel decided to move the controversial statue after groups demanded its removal as many of Sims medical breakthroughs came from experimenting on black slaves without anesthesia. The statue will be relocated in Green-Wood Cemetery in Windsor Terrace, where Sims is buried. (Footage by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
