| Comment | History is written by the victor. Statues and monuments are used to fortify those writings.
Currently, there is a movement which wants to bring transparency to those writings.
Part of that is to remove these statues of individuals who have been given this positive attention despite their history and actions.
I don't agree with the removal or vandalism of statues.
Instead, leave the statue and install a sign on every single statue of whichever fucked up thing that person did.
Leave it as a reminder of the true past. |
