This statue is offensive and does not belong in our city. It's removal is long overdue.

Please remove this statue and replace with something that respects and honors the Black citizens of Boston and the United States.

he wrote in a letter to horace greeley in 1862 and he said "If I could save the union without freeing any slaves, I would do it. My paramount goal in this struggle is to save the union not to save or destroy slavery." look it up!

I'm grateful for what Lincoln did but this statue does not represent it.

No person is beneath another, nor should someone kneel to another man, just God!

This statue is wrong. It does not honor freed slaves or President Lincoln.

Let’s move (run!) to actually representing the values we’ve always said we have. We can do better than this.

The statue evokes a false sense of white superiority. Please take it down and put it in a museum.

Tear down this racist statue and defund the Boston Police while you're at it. Our city needs to reckon with its systemic racism in all aspects of public life.
