This statue needs to be torn down as soon as possible this is horrible. I can’t believe the city did nothing after all this time. Black people deserve to be treated equal as it should!! This horrible era is over and for good.

This statue is a horrifically ugly monument to the history of white supremacy in America. Enslaved Black people were not animals and Abraham Lincoln wasn’t their white savior. It’s disgusting and has no place in our future.

This is beyond disrespectful. To depict a black man in this way is disgusting. The fact that feet are dragging further proves that this world hates blacks

This is demeaning. This is unacceptable. If they continue to keep this statue up, we know where the officals stand with the topic of racism.

Just take out down! All statues in that era were erected to fondly remember a time when blacks were not thought of as human.
