Replace this statue with something that embraces and celebrates equality.

Take it down! We have been oppressed for too long. This isn’t home for blacks it’s oppression.

Immoral, Unpleasant, Shameful and down right a pledge of Injustice. Despite Abraham Lincoln legacy. A statue erected like this pays no homage to him. It cast him in a horribly bad light in the year 2020.

This is a disgrace to humanity! We as a society need to remove these monuments, as part of the change we are fighting for!

Frederick Douglass would be proud of your petition, and the public support speaks volumes.

I agree! Even as a white person I have not liked the statue's subservient slave depiction.
