Today’s Wall Street Journal article on the Emancipation statue controversy just posted and already has nearly 500 comments. Tomorrow’s protests will likely draw a big crowd and hopefully it won’t turn violent but I’m thinking with marshals and National Guard

 on scene, our lovely neighborhood park will be getting lots more publicity, likeky not all desired. I’m  copying for full text below link.

WASHINGTON—Protesters said they are planning to topple a statue of Abraham Lincoln in the capital meant to commemorate his 1863 proclamation freeing enslaved people in the rebel states at the height of the Civil War.</p>

The Emancipation Memorial, erected in 1876 in Lincoln Park on Capitol Hill, has long drawn criticism for its paternalistic imagery of a standing President Lincoln looming over a kneeling black man and his broken shackles. The planned attempt to remove the statue,

 originally set for Thursday, comes as protesters across the country have <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/protesters-topple-statues-beat-up-state-senator-in-madison-wis-11593016272" class="icon none" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-size: 30px 30px; color: rgb(2, 116, 182); outline: none; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat;">taken

Demonstrators who want the bronze statue gone gathered Tuesday evening in Lincoln Park to condemn its design, which they say implies that it was only Lincoln’s benevolence, and not the efforts of black people, that ended American slavery. Later, in an Instagram

 post, organizers said they would converge on the statue on Friday evening instead.</p>

Organizers said they planned to return in force to pull the statue off its granite pedestal, and authorities said they were ready to counter the effort. Several dozen officers from Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Park Police watched

 over demonstrators Tuesday evening. On Wednesday, the Army said it was activating 400 members of the D.C. National Guard, at the request of the Interior Department, to help guard government property and monuments in the capital.</p>

Any effort to remove the memorial by force was shaping up as a flashpoint between protesters and those who say their efforts have gone too far.</p>

President Trump said during a Wednesday news conference at the White House that he would sign a “very strong” executive order by the end of this week that would toughen penalties for destroying monuments and statues.</p>

Mr. Trump didn’t provide details on the order. Current legislation, which applies specifically to vandalizing veterans’ memorials, mandates prison terms of up to 10 years. His order wasn’t expected to address any legislative or administrative action to remove

 statues.</p>

The Lincoln Park statue has drawn controversy from the moment of its dedication on the eve of the 11th anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Exchange; line-height: 27px; word-wrap: break-word;">

Funds for the memorial were raised entirely from freed slaves, including black veterans of the Union Army, according to the National Park Service, which controls the park. But the organization in charge of the commissioning and purchase of the statue was a

 charity in St. Louis, the Western Sanitary Commission, which was run by whites, according to the Park Service.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Exchange; line-height: 27px; word-wrap: break-word;">

In attendance at the monument’s dedication was President Ulysses S. Grant, who as Lincoln’s top general won the Civil War and as president sought to fend off the ultimately successful Southern efforts to end Reconstruction and return power fully to whites.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Exchange; line-height: 27px; word-wrap: break-word;">

At its dedication, Frederick Douglass, who had escaped slavery to become a venerated author and abolitionist leader, delivered a historic oration about the fallen president that praised Lincoln but grappled with what he and others believed was his slow embrace

 of abolition.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Exchange; line-height: 27px; word-wrap: break-word;">

“Viewed from the genuine abolition ground, Mr. Lincoln seemed tardy, cold, dull, and indifferent,” Douglass said, according to a published version of his remarks. “But measuring him by the sentiment of his country, a sentiment he was bound as a statesman to

 consult, he was swift, zealous, radical, and determined. Though Mr. Lincoln shared the prejudices of his white fellow-countrymen against the negro, it is hardly necessary to say that in his heart of hearts he loathed and hated slavery.”</p>

Other published accounts note that Douglass also ad-libbed an observation that prefigured the current controversy. Douglass, one attendee wrote, criticized the statue for depicting a kneeling black man, rather than a standing, free man.</p>

The National Park Service has acknowledged misgivings about the statue in the past. A 2018 re-enactment of the statue’s unveiling, complete with a performance of Douglass’s address, included a question-and-answer session with area residents about their misgivings

 and feelings about the statue. In 1974, the service erected a statue of the civil rights leader Mary McLeod Bethune across the park from the Emancipation Memorial, and turned the statue of Lincoln to face the new monument, rather than the Capitol.</p>

“Across the country, the NPS maintains and interprets monuments, markers, and plaques that represent painful or controversial chapters in our nation’s history,” a Parks Service spokeswoman said. “We are committed to telling the larger story behind these memorials

 and to encouraging dialogue and reflection on their legacies today.”</p>

Mr. Foster, one of the organizers of the Tuesday rally, said this week’s events came together in just the past several days, amid late-night text-message sessions about how to keep the momentum of the protests over police killings of black people.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Exchange; line-height: 27px; word-wrap: break-word;">

Mr. Foster got a gentle challenge from Howard Banks, a high-school history teacher in Prince George’s County, Md., who said he had shown up in part to honor Douglass.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Exchange; line-height: 27px; word-wrap: break-word;">

“He lost his life for us,” Mr. Banks said to Mr. Foster, gesturing to the statue of Lincoln.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Exchange; line-height: 27px; word-wrap: break-word;">

“If you talk about bringing it down: No,” Mr. Banks said in a later interview. “You can bring down those that work for racism. Those like [Confederate Gen. and Ku Klux Klan leader] Nathan Bedford Forrest, absolutely. Killed 300 blacks at the battle of Fort

 Pillow, 1864. Yes, take him out. But Lincoln lost his life for the folks, all of us.”</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Exchange; line-height: 27px; word-wrap: break-word;">

Those sentiments found little resonance with some neighborhood residents like Maurice Cook, who briefly addressed the crowd at sunset. “No one here created this, but you have a chance, an opportunity, to destroy it,” he said.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Exchange; line-height: 27px; word-wrap: break-word;">

Mr. Cook later said he had lived in the neighborhood for 20 years. Asked how long he had been bothered by the statue, he answered: “Twenty years.”</p>

<div dir="ltr" class="">No, Lincoln didn't "give" anyone freedom but he was still essential to the ending of slavery.  The slaves did indeed force his hand, what with large numbers flocking behind Union lines in the early days of the war, and they did indeed

 fight for their freedom as members of the Union Army.  But sentiment in the North was strong in the grim winter of 1862-63 for a negotiated end to the war which would restore the Union, leaving slavery in place in the states where it already existed.  It was

 Lincoln's issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation that made the war a war to end slavery--something voters in the North effectively ratified by re-electing him in 1864.  Politics do play a role in all great moments of social change.
