[Lincolnparkdc] Ken Burns on monuments

[Bill Sweeney]

I’d love to see us honor the donations of freed people while also honoring the realities of history. Lincoln didn’t “give” anyone emancipation; African-Americans fought and died for freedom. 

I’d contribute to an effort to reforge this frankly offensive statue into something more historically accurate. 

Cities are for people, not for statues. Things change and civilization marches forward.
