How people feel about statues that even insinuates the depression of a people matters. As an African American it does not give me a good feeling.

Love the idea of not removing it because we would not be any better of the injustice and inequality, etc... As we are letting our 400 plus year of Distrust, Pain, Hurt, and Anger,etc... I’m in favor of the reconstruction of the statue both Man’s on their feet and shaking hands as equals.

Dear Legislators and Judges and Mr Predident. This statue is clearly disrepectful to our black people. Our children should mot grow up in racial hate for our black brothers and sisters. This will cause more hate defiance and racisl.tenskon. America is for all not for white supremacy. We dont need a REMINDER. More importantly our kids should grow up with resentment and supior quality over the other color. White supremuxist are dedtroying and creating racial tention. Put a stop to this. You can

It is outrageous this offensive sculpture has stood for over one hundred years. Get rid of it now!

Lincoln was a pragmatist, not an abolitionist, and the formerly enslaved were not pets but humans worthy of dignity.

Remove the statue and replace it with a true meaningful one depicting freedom from slavery.

Black people of Lincoln's time we're strong capable individuals living thru terrible suffering. The memorial portrays them as mindless, crazed, barely tamed beasts.

I seriously thought this was a joke at first! How is this a real thing!?!? How about a statue of them shaking hands? This doesn't even make sense!
