  • How much do you know about William Penn? The William Penn statue sits atop Philadelphia's City Hall, a staple in Center City. Here's the history behind the statue - including the curse some believe it left on Philadelphia's professional sports teams.

    Native American here. The Treaty Mr. Penn put in only lasted 70 years, because his descendants kept taking over Native land, and the Natives he done the treaty with wasn't having it. The attacks were resumed until the land was forfeited back to the Natives.

    I wonder if that thing about that tiny William Penn statue was true...(I've seen too many news stories get small facts wrong, to completely trust this story)

      It's true. When the second taller Comcast tower was finished they put another William Penn statue on top. The next year the Eagles won their first Superbowl.

    BLM and Antifa don't have anyone brave enough to climb over a few feet, the Penn statue is safe!

      Nice stereotyping there, especially considering protestors know they're risking pepper spray, being shot, etc. Pretty sure heights wouldn't be a problem.
      But that aside, who besides haters of the cities sports teams is calling for the removal of Penn's statues? He negotiated with the local tribes, left the colonies for good in 1701, and although by some accounts he apparently did own slaves he was a pacifist Quaker whom were among the first groups to denounce slavery soon thereafter.
      So I have to say that if you think they'd go after it in the first place then you're ignorant of the point of the protests.
