The statue of a former longtime Michigan mayor was removed from its location following the protests of the death of George Floyd.

Erected to commemorate the man who served as mayor of Dearborn for 36 years, the Orville Hubbard statue was removed from its location outside of the Dearborn Historical Museum. Hubbard was a segregationist who served as mayor from 1942 to 1978 and held many discriminatory views against African Americans, Catholics, Arabs, and people of Jewish decent.
