This statue is flagrantly racist, proliferates white supremacy and should be removed.

This statue is degrading and demoralizing to Boston’s Black community and desecrates President Lincoln's legacy.

How did anyone at any point think this image is okay? This is not a portrayal of black power, and an adequate statue, with a real representation of power and success, should replace this one.

Also take Columbus to the dump while you’re at it.

Let's replace the racist statues with some new anti racist sculpture. It's about time.

This statue is offensive and should be replaced with something empowering for all people.

Let’s follow Tory Bullock’s lead and ask this statue be removed. I would like to see a Crispus Attucks in its place created by a Black Bostonian.

Take this offensive, pejorative statue down! And commission Black artists to replace it with one of Crispus Attucks or Frederick Douglass.
