I didn't know this statue existed. Seeing it and hearing your viewpoint about it makes me agree with you.

This is a sick and demented symbol in the middle of the city of Boston

Time for the horrible Freed Man/Lincoln statue to go away. It does not represent us and should be replaced with something we can be proud of that doesn't alienate the people it's supposed to be celebrating.

As a white man, I agree and had no idea how this might be viewed as a young black person! Kudos to you my black friend for taking up this issue!

This statue doesn’t embody Lincoln or how he freed slaves. If this slave was free he would help him up not push him down

It looks like Lincoln is petting a DOG! This is so degrading. Please remove it.

This statue represents the opposite of what it is intended to memorialize.
