This is VERY offensive.. If you want to keep it for history then put it in a museum,A history on Americas mistakes that should never be forgotten.. ( like the one for the Holocaust). This should NOT be forgotten but it sure should not be GLORIFIED!!! Please remove this statue...

Let’s put a statue for Crispus Attucks, Peter Salem or other revolutionary heroes, or abolitionist heroes like Leonard Grimes. Boston doesn’t need monuments that inculcate the idea of white saviors and black servility. It’s time to get rid of this statue and give Boston something better.

This is not the iconography we should be celebrating. This is not a representation of freedom and equality. Remove this statue to celebrate our future and movement forward and not relics of racism.

Down. Now. And replaced with a Black Abolitionist, designed and created by a Black sculptor.

I thought this thing was incredibly racist and offensive when I first saw it in the late 80s. It's long past time for it to go.
