Hannah Duston Statue

The statue situated in Haverhill, Massachusetts is a tribute to Hannah Duston, an English colonist from the 17th century who allegedly took the lives of 10 Native Americans to secure her freedom while held captive during King William's War. Recently, the statue has become a point of controversy in the ongoing national discussion about racist monuments, as local residents scrutinize the Duston legend.
