Museums and battlefields, just my opinion.



do you honestly believe the people that are tearing down these statues are satisfied with just moving the statues to a different setting?

Not the public square, where they serve to celebrate and glorify the totally white washed confederacy.


so move them to public national historical sites, where the same people can celebrate and glorify them?

I live in Richmond and we're taking about our very own Monument ave all the time (4 large confederate statues). Yes, it's a very real, and not at all unlikely scenario. Brought up a lot.

I suppose I can't speak for any other community.

Also, meuseums offer context and yo I have to seek it out. That's what all of these statues lack, and what placebo thinks doesn't exist, which is funny.

Adding plaques to the statues in RVA is also being thrown around. Not sure what that would look like or what they would say.
