In the context of Statue of Christopher Columbus (Baltimore), analyze the Future of the History.
The statue was fished out of the river by the Knights of Columbus. The statue had broken into 12 pieces and it was determined to be unsalvageable, however the Knights of Columbus stated they would reproduce the statue. In October it was revealed that the statue mold was being produced. It was estimated to cost $80–85,000, and that they had raised nearly half the funds at that point. It will not return to its original spot. In November the National Endowment for the Humanities announced that they would give $30,000 to the Knights of Columbus to help assist with the recreation of the statue, along with three others.
