by editors@theworld.org (Manuel Rueda) from The World: Latest Stories on (#79BWC)
In what newly elected President Abelardo de la Espriella calls a "cultural counter-revolution," Colombia's government has taken down more than 30 items from the National Museum of Bogota. Most of them reflect leftist, feminist and LGBTQ history. The move has sparked multiple protests from citizens who fear the removals risk erasing the experiences of marginalized communities and sanitizing Colombia's violent past. Reporter Manuel Rueda has the story from Bogota.
