A bronze statue of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist assassinated in July 2025, is scheduled to be unveiled in Times Square on September 10, 2026—the one-year anniversary of his death. The Italian artist Sergio Furnari has been documenting the sculpture's creation on social media. The Post frames this as a celebratory monument, while multiple news outlets note public concern about potential vandalism, but neither framing changes the core fact: the statue is real and the September 10 date is confirmed.
