The statue has stood in front of the capitol building since 1872, but earlier in the evening the Maryland State House Trust voted in favor of removing the statue of Taney, a Marylander who was the author of the infamous Dred Scott decision that upheld slavery. State and municpal officials around the country have been rethinking the display of statues, flags and other memorials associated with slavery and the Confederacy since a rally by Neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., that turned deadly four days earlier.
