This statute is yet another monument to white supremacy. Lincoln may have signed the Emancipation Proclamation, but he was no friend to the enslaved and was racist. Put this statue, unlabeled, in a dark corner of an underfunded museum immediately.

This does NOT represent freedom in any way shape or form. This needs to be removed. It's ridiculous and highly offensive.

As a white person this is beyond disgraceful and I can’t believe this is a actual statue.
