For the second time in 48 hours, someone has vandalized the Andrew Jackson statue in Downtown Jacksonville amid a nationwide trend of defacing monuments and statues honoring people with ties to slavery.
On Tuesday morning, First Coast News spotted what appears to be red paint spray-painted on the statue with the words: "Remember May 28, 1830."
This was the day the former United States President signed the Indian Removal Act, authorizing the forced westward relocation of thousands of Native American tribes.
On Monday, red paint was also found all over the statue along with the words "slave owner" across the plaque at the base of the statue.
Monday night in Washington D.C., several protesters came face-to-face with police during an attempt to remove the Andrew Jackson statue from in front of the White House.
The large crowd of D.C. protesters broke into the fence surrounding the statue and tried to topple the bronze statue using ropes. Police arrived at the scene shortly after and pushed the crowd out of the area.
Jacksonville is named after Andrew Jackson, who served as the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837.
There has even been some chatter online about the possibility of changing the name of the city, because of racism and slavery associated with Andrew Jackson, the city's namesake, although there are currently no official petitions to change the name of Jacksonville.
