I agree, this statue should be replaced with one honoring the freed slaves. Kehinde Wiley would be the perfect choice for this.

This statue is not empowering for black people at all, and I'll stand with you by signing this petition Tory!

It’s important to have images of Black people that speak to our humanity. This ain’t it. Let it go!

A statue commemorating the end of slavery is important. But why choose to show this in this way, with a black man on his knees? We need a symbol of black freedom, dignity and respect. Not a statue that shows the white man, who put black people in shackles in the first place, as superior for liberating black people.
