Article history

... that the Monumento a la Raza in Neiva, which was toppled under the pretext of decolonization, depicted the conquistadors' cynicism during the Americas' colonization according to its author?
Source: "La escultura hacía una crítica al cinismo de colonizadores [...] es una crítica escueta y limpia, clara al cinismo hispano frente a la colonización y a los colonizados". ("The sculpture was a criticism of the cynicism of the colonizers [...] it is a concise, clean and clear criticism of Hispanic cynicism towards colonization and the colonized".) Rojas on Facebook.
Source on toppling under decolonization reasons: Infobae: "Es tumbado el monumento 'Homenaje a la Raza y al Mestizaje', como reivindicación feminista y decolonial, al destrozar la figura de un Conquistador Español que señalaba 'la tierra prometida', significado de la apología a la violación y al exterminio de mujeres indígenas" ("It is knocked down the monument 'Homenaje a la Raza y al Mestizaje', as a feminist and decolonial claim, by destroying the figure of a Spanish Conqueror who pointed to 'the promised land', meaning the apology to the rape and extermination of indigenous women").

Created by Tbhotch (talk). Self-nominated at 03:23, 3 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Monumento a la Raza (Neiva); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Date and close paraphrase check ok. Fair use image from Twitter is not acceptable. QPQ done. Regarding the hook and source for the last paragraph, a primary source from Facebook is not acceptable, and without this statement by the artist himself, the article is not long enough. - Maybe you can find a secondary source and write another hook, based on a better source?
