If we are actually going to start changing the world. We have to start listening. Take down the statue.

Lincoln said out of his own mouth that the Proclamation of Emancipation was not about freeing the slaves, it was about keep the Union from splitting, The slave population was used as his pawn. After freeing the slaves, Lincoln tried to get rid of former slaves by looking for places outside the United States to expell them. Let's get it right!!! When I accidentally stumbled upon the Lincoln statue, I became sick to my stomach. Notice how Boston set the statue in an out of the way obscure place.

It’s time for this to come down!! Lincoln himself referred to black folks as beasts and did not fight for and respect them the way we were taught in school.

Take it down. Allocate arts funding to replace it.

As someone who studied art history, freedom is certainly not what the viewer perceived looking at this statue.

Take this statue down. It is dehumanizing.
