Let’s make sure that all racist monuments in Boston go to the “Crazy things white people do” museum.

Remove AND have the city commission a black artist to create a counter monument that will force the Kemetyu to realize how powerful we truly are and capable of LITERALLY *ANYTHING*.

This statue is beyond degrading. He was supposed to have freed slaves not enjoyed having one as depicted in this statue.

The days of paternalistic racism are done! Remove OR have the city commission a black artist to create a counter-monument that will force the public to think about the history of this country and racist imagery.

This is not the image of black Americans that we should be "celebrating". Due to the history of it being bought by newly freed black Americans at the time, I would hate for it to be destroyed, but please move it to a museum.

Symbols of disempowerment need to go. It's time to change the dynamic.

I moved to Boston two years ago and would hope the city councilors that I've been voting in are watching this and re evaluating every racist relic in this city!

History is written by the victors. This statue slants emancipation, degrades it, by representing the Freedman shirtless, stooped, beholden to a white leader, not equal.
Boston has long failed to embrace public art as the lightning rod it should be. Remove this disgrace, and many others, and give rise to the voices of today, and renew commitments to equity by supporting and elevating our words on the public stage.

This is a disgrace to black lives and we need to move on from these images and ideas. They are harmful and traumatic. We need to uplift humanity and come into unity.
