WE need to see these parts of our HISTORY so we don't repeat it.

BUT those statues represent a PAST we have supposedly moved on from..... IF THAT IS TRUE, then let's move on.

IF IT IS NOT TRUE and there are people still worshiping those early slave masters, then put them in museums anyway along with pictures of the current hangers-on who can't let go and move forward with the present.


Just take them off the pedestals and put them somewhere people will NEVER FORGET where we came from...
so we can GET where we are going, sooner rather than later.

This lady did a great job. All these people did (except the first lady shown). It's a shame so many members of the Jacksonville (Florida, I presume) city council weren't listening.
