Would You Want To Remove The Current Lincoln Statue In Boston?

[Alben Barkley]

This particular one, like the one in front of the New York History Museum with Roosevelt surrounded by servile-looking Native/black men, is kind of messed up. In both cases I think perhaps the originals should be moved to an appropriate museum while they are replaced in public with more neutral depictions of Lincoln and Roosevelt that don't have the servile depictions of people of other races.

The story behind this one actually is apparently that a black man did kneel before Lincoln but he told him to stand up, so it actually seems kind of disrespectful to Lincoln's own wishes to portray it like this. Maybe even a depiction of Lincoln shaking hands with the man or something would be fitting.
