ERASING AMERICA - Abraham Lincoln Emancipation Memorial Statue REMOVED!

A statue of Abraham Lincoln with a freed slave appearing to kneel at his feet – optics that drew objections amid a national reckoning with racial injustice – has been removed from its perch in downtown Boston.

.....


It was created to celebrate the freeing of slaves in America and was based on Archer Alexander, a Black man who escaped slavery, helped the Union Army and was the last man recaptured under the Fugitive Slave Act.

But while some saw the shirtless man rising to his feet while shaking off the broken shackles on his wrists, others perceived him as kneeling before Lincoln, his White emancipator.

Freed Black donors paid for the original in Washington; White politician and circus showman Moses Kimball financed the copy in Boston. The inscription on both reads: "A race set free and the country at peace. Lincoln rests from his labors."

The ignorance of this is beyond words. My great grand father fought in the union army to free the slave, I guess I should be ashamed of that too.

So goes the death of America.
