I agree that shackled and kneeling in subservience or supplication or reverence to your reluctant emancipator is not a good image.

Please remove this offensive statue. It does not depict freedom.

I always wondered why Boston had this statue at Park Square. If it wanted to revere President Lincoln, this was indeed the wrong concept. Yes, let's have a statue of Lincoln, but not this one! While we are at it, why are the Boston statues almost all representing white men? I can count the ones representing people of other races and those of women on my hands. City statues should represent all the people that live (and had lived) in the community.

Excellent job, Tory. I’m a 61 yo white woman who is very supportive of your museum idea!
