Take it down. Hire a local descendant of slaves to design something actually uplifting and representative of the act of emancipation from white supremacist oppression. That one looks like it was funded & designed by the KKK.

We do not need statues glorifying white men at the expense of Black men.

This demeaning & racist statue has no place in my capital city. Get rid of it, now.

Can we take this down, and commission something excellent from a Black artist? Further, can we figure out a way for that Black artist to not get bogged down in public process? Can they be accountable to an all-Black committee, for example, instead of having to negotiate with white gatekeepers? Let’s get this thing done!

If it’s near water let’s toss it in.

Replace this with a new statue of the same two people, Archer Alexander (an ancestor of famous boxer Muhamed Ali) standing, shaking hands, with Abraham Lincoln, as equal men.
