I’ve felt for a long time there’s a way to handle the confederate statue issue in a positive way.1) Remove the statues and store them in a museum somewhere, & 2) Have local & national contests for contemporary artists to replace them in the places where they once stood. #artheals

I disagree with removing them. They are part of our history right or wrong. Sometimes you need symbols of what you once were to show how far you’ve come and don’t want to be lest you forget. In trauma healing I forgave my own past errors with loving acceptance, not denying it.
The Germans don’t have statues of World War II Nazi leaders to remind the German people of their history. A statue in a public place is a sign of honor and should be reserved for that.

Why is there still monuments and statues of Gen Custer? I will never understand why a genocidal maniac still has statues. It’s disgusting. And yes the others need to go as well. Most have now. But Custer still remains.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Armstrong_Custer_Equestrian_Monument … Why does no one say a word about him? All he did to the indigenous ppl of USA? I will never understand.
