Fox News
William Penn's statue in a Philadelphia park will remain, the National Park Service said Monday night, retracting a proposal announced just days earlier.
"No changes to the William Penn statue are planned," a news release said. The park service never explained the reason for the impetus to remove the statue.
The plan, announced Friday, also involved expanding the telling of Philadelphia's Native American history and fixing up the park. It faced a torrent of criticism, receiving more than 2,600 comments on a social media post calling for public comment to be submitted over a 2-week period on a dedicated website.
