Seattle Mayor Ed Murray called for the removal of a monument to confederate soldiers, and a statue of Vladimir Lenin in a statement Thursday.

The mayor said the monument and the statue represents “historic injustices,” and both should be removed, according to the Seattle Times.

“Not only do these kinds of symbols represent historic injustices, their existence causes pain among those who themselves or whose family members have been impacted by these atrocities,” Murray wrote. “We should remove all these symbols, no matter what political affiliation may have been assigned to them in the decades since they were erected. This includes both Confederate memorials and statues idolizing the founder of the authoritarian Soviet regime.”
