The Central Park statue of Dr. J. Marion Sims has been relocated because of the controversy over his medical experiments on enslaved women in the mid-1800s. According to The New York Times, New York City’s Public Design Commission voted unanimously to move the statue to Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, where Sims is buried. Protesters last August demanded the removal of the statue, which honors one of Lancaster’s most famous native sons.
