Time to replace that sculpture with a new public art representation that better reflects our aspirational values of equality and dignity, which we should expect our community symbols to reflect if we ever want to realize that important dream. Thank you Tory for advocating for this important change!

Its absurd that it’s taken this long to recognize a statue of a slave should not be upheld in Boston or anywhere for that matter.

There's no value or progress in showing a formerly enslaved man on his knees before his "savior" TEAR IT DOWN
