Respectfully disagree. Those statues erected by past tax payers, they voted. Not up to present and future taxpayers to reimagine history. I say instead of dismantling these statues, lets invest in new statues to sit in our cities representing our present circumstance, our progress. There is room for past and present as a visualization of progress. I for one do not wish to relive the past, but without these statues as markers of our past we are doomed to repeat it. Hope we never revisit slavery, but it was there, it happened. Lets keep it documented.
