In all of the discussion of statues going down, I'm not seeing nearly so much talk about the next important question: what should replace them. Statues reflect values. What values should we monumentalize in their place? What figures would better represent those values?

I know you're joking, but I'm cautious with some of the North-of-the-Mason-Dixon triumphalism. My classmates at UMass often considered segregation to be a 'southern' thing. It was not: https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/#loc=5/37.858/-91.296 … but that belief let them be complacent in the face of local injustice
(to be clear, "it was not [an exclusively Southern thing]." Jim Crow was obviously both very real and very bad and residential segregation created by redlining exists North and South.)
