Celebrate emancipation with a DIFFERENT less denigrating more empowering statue. Boston is trying to lead in reform. Get rid of this statue.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. No disrespect to Lincoln, but this is the wrong way to depict emancipation and equality. The statue needs to be replaced.

Replace it with an appropriate statue and have it designed by an African American.

This statue is really problematic, depicting enslaved people as less-than and helpless. It’s always bothered me and needs to be gone!

Images of oppression are one of the many tools racists societies use to continue reinforcing the deminishment of Black people. Think of how many white people from around the globe and here in Boston have seen this image and think it's just art that honors a political figure. Aware and sometimes unaware that this image reinforces their feeling s of being above and lording over black people. there feelings of being powerful and expecting black people to feel grateful to be seen at their feet. Keep making our truth known. Through the years all white people should understand that just because we didn't say anything does not mean we didn't notice and process and take note. Freedom is Truth. Truth is Power. let them know how much damage that they have caused us and hold them accountable to remove these stigmatic images.

Well said; well done. It is time to remove icons of inequality and change history for all of us. We need a new and inclusive narrative and it must include a new and inclusive culture.
Remove the raciest status this symbolizes
