Will removal ceremony close San Jose’s Fallon statue saga?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:23:35 GMT

Drivers stopped near Julian Street and Highway 87 in downtown San Jose on Friday morning may have wondered what was happening on the concrete island near the ramps. Were the 50 or so people there gathered in protest or celebration? A little bit of both, actually.The event was led by members of the Muwekma Ohlone tribe and Centro Aztlan Chicomoztoc at the former site of a statue of Thomas Fallon, an early San Jose mayor, and a companion on horseback raising the U.S. flag over San Jose.  After more than three decades as a controversial flashpoint in the city, the statue was removed this past spring and put into storage. The groups called for a ritual cleansing of the site, which they say symbolized genocide and white supremacy.San Jose City Council members Omar Torres, left, and Peter Ortiz watch a Muwekma Ohlone cleansing ceremony at the former site of a statue of Thomas Fallon, an early San Jose mayor, raising the U.S. flag in downtown San Jose on Friday, Aug. 4, 2023.
