They become teachable moments for all of us, young and old, black and white. Judging by the discussion here, it seems to me the Lincoln Statue is doing the job any monument should: making us think and reflect on our past and how to interpret it.<br></div><div dir="ltr">If we remove or modify monuments because we disagree with their original view of history, we rob monuments of this cultural function, surrounding ourselves merely with things we find agreeable. The intellectual and cultural stimulus is lost. I disagree with the man in Boston. A kid should have to ask the tough questions the statue raises, as should we all.<br></div><div dir="ltr">I think it?s also important to keep in mind that the Lincoln Statue is part of a duet of sculpture in Lincoln Park that expands the dialogue I?m talking about. At the other end stands Mary McLeod Bethune celebrating with children. The contrasting ensemble is very unusual for a national park, and we are fortunate to have this invitation to reflection and inquiry on our doorstep.<br></div><div dir="ltr">David<br></div><div dir="ltr">13th St. SE<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 5:39 PM Jeni Schoemaker <<a href="mailto:jaschoemaker@gmail.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">jaschoemaker@gmail.com</a><mailto:<a href="mailto:jaschoemaker@gmail.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">jaschoemaker@gmail.com</a>>> wrote:<br></div><div dir="ltr">Thank you for sending the link.
