Statues are an important part of history down south.

Massachusetts already said that we won't be taking down any here. Including confederate ones.

If you erect your statue on your front yard the government cannot interfere with your free speech. But if you want to put up a statue on the front lawn of the city hall then you don’t have freedom of speech. Government controls its own property what can be set on it and who can march on.

It’s not about the statues. The statues are just another form of robes and hoods that the night riders used to intimidate freed blacks.

FR OK, serious question .... Earlier, I mentioned our own beloved Sir Edward Colston, who has a statue in Bristol, England. it's right in the middle of the town centre. He was a noted philanthropist - donating money to all kinds of endeavours in Bristol. However, he made a large amount of his fortune through slave-trading. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jun/09/edward-colston-bristol-statue-slavery There have been ongoing arguments about taking the statue down. In a recent poll something over a half of people said 'keep it'. As far as I know there have never been any extra-legal attempts to remove it. It rarely gets defaced, either. One of the objections to the statue is to the plaque on it. This adds insult to injury. It reads "Erected by the citizens of Bristol and memorial to one the most virtuous and wise sons of their city." This perhaps inspired the response in the discussion below the article to which I've linked - that the statue should remain where it is, but have a plaque added to it that gives some history of Colston's slaving activities. So, then, what about that? Would all sides be appeased by such plaques - or descriptions in other forms - on or near these statues? Would it even make a difference? ETA Black Plaques for Slaver Philanthropists" "Perhaps the answer to the conundrum of the buildings named after slave exploiters with other historic roles (Renamed and shamed, 29 April) is to keep the name but display a black plaque stating: “The person after whom this building was named made large profits from the organisation or exploitation of slavery.” Celebrity and infamy both given due credit."
