no statue should be taken down ,, it is your history good or bad if you get rid of it then people forget how they got to where life is so much better now than before,,,,

@oldercanuck1 I disagree. Statues are commemorative, the can memorialize. They are not tools of history. We have books, schools, museums and higher degrees for what is the worthy pursuit of sorting through man's family story, but a statue is simply art commemorating a moment in time.
It's probably why there's no statue park for serial killers in history or depictions of us annihilating Nagasaki. What we choose to memorialize says much about society but the statues will never tell much history.
