This needs to be removed and replaced—the message it sends to all about people of color is damaging and twisted.

The statue is telling black Americans that they must kneel at the feet of a white man, in gratitude for "freeing" them, as if they had no role in freeing themselves. It is wrong in more ways than I can count. Take it down.

This is a disrespectful statue. This should’ve been removed a while ago.... please remove ASAP.

I’m sure when this was erected it was done with the best intentions, but times have changed and we should acknowledge that. For the good of our city, it should be removed.

I agree that there should be a statue of Lincoln and an African American—on his feet, not on his knees.
