I'm happy to see statues of people involved in slavery get toppled. I want to make it clear that by removing these statues, we are not re-writing history--we are creating the next step in our history in which we are making a tangible change to humanity's consciousness that we have learned from our ugly past, and that we are struggling to forge a new future where racism will be gone.

@metapsyche For me to form an opinion on this I'd have to say it depends when it was put up.. if it is put up in our lifetimes, then by all mean take it down. But if it was put up before any of us were born, then I'd say keep it but extend it to explain the slave aspects of the person with additional text of monument.
