If this isn’t something all of us should be embarrassed and disgusted by, I don’t know what is! Take that and any other statues in Boston down!

We would rather die on our feet than keep living on our knees! Thiz statue does not represent freedom for African Americans in any respect!

No one is denying the legislation Lincoln passed and its impact. However, the depiction of Black people as subordinate or “less than” by the positioning of the Black man in the sculpture promotes the polar opposite of the very ideology that America claims to be built upon. It needs to come down.

This statue is way too ambiguous - it looks like Lincoln is patting this man on his knees. Put some context to it. Put it in a museum

Please take this down. It is sending the wrong message. I urge you to think of young black children and white children, when they see this they see superiority, power, inferior , powerless. Now I ask you who do think see what?

This statue is ridiculous. Why is Lincoln petting him like he’s an animal? Bizarre. Take it down.
