(CNN) The city of Columbus, Ohio, has already vowed to bring down its statue of Christopher Columbus. But thousands are hoping to erase the city's connection to Columbus' legacy even further by renaming it Flavortown in honor of Columbus native Guy Fieri. As the widespread conversation around police brutality and racial inequality continues into another week, statues of Columbus are being brought down across the nation to bring awareness to the cruelty he brought upon Indigenous people. Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther announced earlier this week that the statue outside City Hall would be removed and placed in storage. But for Tyler Woodbridge, who spent over seven years of his life in Columbus, the statue's removal wasn't enough.
