DEARBORN, Mich. The statue of former Dearborn Mayor Orville Hubbard whose legacy includes advocating for black and white segregation has been removed. City officials say the statue which weighs up to 700 pounds was removed Friday night. Hubbard was the mayor of Dearborn from 1942 until 1978. There have been calls to remove the statue for years because of Hubbards reputation for being racist towards ethnic and minority groups. Nationwide, other statues of controversial historic figures are being removed in the wake of George Floyds death.
