Remove this statue and place it in a museum. Replace it with something that celebrates BIPOC. There are so many options!

Tear it down. Replace it with a statue of Malcom X or Dr. King who both have deep ties to the city.

The “Freedmen” statue is horrible and we can do so much better in commemorating the emancipation proclamation and the end of slavery. Get rid of that statue!!

This horrible statue is not art. It's a symbol of hatred and racism in this country! Get rid of it!!

This statue doesn't represent Boston or the equality we want Boston to aspire to. Remove and replace it with an appropriately empowering and inspiring image of emancipation

I am a public school art teacher, and a sculptor. This artwork is offensive and should be removed, and replaced with something truly inspiring.
