Nothing about this statue says freedom. Replace it with an actual free black person (no white man necessary.)

This definitely needs to be removed, by no shape or form does this give a positive outlook on African Americans. It is a very demeaning statue to the African American Race at the least. It should definitely be REMOVED FROM BOSTON AND WASHINGTON FOR GOOD.

Everywhere across this country, monuments that portray or glorify themes of hate and racial inequality are being thrown in the trash where they belong. This is yet another one that needs to be taken down and changed. To progress is to move forward, and stark reminders of an oppressive past leads to an oppressive present.

Given the current climate of police brutality towards Black People and People of Color in our state, country, and the world - this statue does not serve a purpose anymore. Instead, it is a painful reminder. Thank You.
