Baltimore removes 4 statues over night
#42
So, someone said something on Twitter that really made me think a little differently about these statues and monuments. The statues of Lee and Jackson in Charlottesville were erected in the 1920s, and there were many erected during that time, and then again in the 1960s as a response to the Civil Rights movement. But the ones erected in the 1920s, that would be like if Germany had erected statues and monuments to the Third Reich 10-15 years ago. That is a bit mind boggling, to me. How would you feel about Germany erected monuments to the Third Reich? Or how about in 28 years when we reach the centennial of the end?
