This needs to be removed. Replace with a positive statute to represent emancipation (a man breaking chains, a woman breaking chains, children holding hands, etc.)

this statue is an embarrassment for the city of Boston. It doesn't deserve the place of honor it continues to hold.

Remove all the statues glorifying white supremacy and demeaning Black people! Black people fought for freedom from slavery for centuries. It was not a gift from white people to kneeling Black people.
