A statue of Junípero Serra in Capitol Park, near the California State Capitol, in Sacramento, California, was installed from 1967 until 2020.[2][3] The statue was put in storage after demonstrators toppled it during a racial justice protest. In August 2021, legislators pass a bill to replace the statue with a monument to local Indigenous nations. The bill needs the signature of the governor to become law.[4]
