The statue is offensive, both the Black men as well as to Lincoln's heritage.

Please remove this and replace it with a black artist’s interpretation of emancipation. Tell our history from all sides of color.

The statue reflects a sentiment of its times, but it's a sentiment that has long since passed.

Please remove the Emancipation Memorial which belittles the power, beauty and freedom of Black Lives and instead displays the manipulative and cruel nature of white oppressors. Give Black Lives dignity, respect and their full freedoms from the tyrannical history of slavery.

We can honor Lincoln and remember Emancipation without images that dehumanize. Be better, Boston.

This has to go immediately, Boston. Whatever the artist's original intention was to depict is irrelevant. This has to go.
