Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti recently announced that the name of Saint Junípero Serra, an 18th century Catholic priest who established the first missions in California, will be removed from a park in downtown Los Angeles. The park is the site where protestors tore down a statue of the saint during the Black Lives Matter movement riots last summer.
