" Its usual luster, however, has been sullied by vandals who graffitied “Black Lives Matter”, “Smash White Supremacy”, “Terrorists” and “Remember Ceville”. Sitting atop is a heroic size bronze sculpture, known as the Lee and Jackson Monument It depicts General Robert E. Lee riding his horse, Traveller, and Stonewall Jackson following suit with Little Sorrel.

Madre Luz, a statue depicting a pregnant black woman, stands defiantly in its path. Wearing a rainbow sash her breasts and pregnant belly are exposed. Her skin color is uneven and the texture rough from the papier-mâché layered upon chickenwire. A child clings to her back as she holds her left arm raised high, fist clenched and adorned in gold glitter. Some call her Black Lady Liberty, while others refer to her as Lady Liberty of Black Power."

The words escape me. Our history is being destroyed - erased and soon forgotten.

[Cowboy Bob]

The statue was removed in August after a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville

They neglect to say who started the violence - antifa/progressives (communists).

all due respect to Harriet Tubman, but I won’t be visiting soon....Robert Lee was an American soldier, who ended up representing a whole swatch of America during the civil war....he deserves respect as well...

[clearcarbon]

There’s no reason to believe that in the future a Tubman memorial will receive any better treatment than Lee or Jackson.

Those who lose sight of the past, will
forever be blind to the future....
Many societies had slaves. The truth
is the US was responsible for only
3% of the total slave trade in the
America’s during the period most blacks
protest. The first slave owner in the
US was a black man. It’s sad that for
recognizing what slavery is, they would
just as soon wipe it from future memories.

The statue was removed in August after a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia reignited the national debate over what to do with symbols of the Confederacy.

Please. If it wasn't that, it would have been something else. If a completely unrelated event could make it be removed, its days were numbered.

Also, the media is an echo chamber, as I feel like I've read this exact sentence 100 times in a hundred different articles.

Where words can mean anything, they can also mean nothing.

WTH is wrong with Fox News? There was as much violence by Antifa as there was by the right in Charlotteville — with the exception of the lone act by a single, certified wacko in an auto...

[Flick Lives]

Harriet Tubman? Was she fighting against something? If history is erased, we’ll never know.

[kenmcg]

What a bunch of bull $%^t. This is the same crap that goes on in S. Africa, re-writing history. Maybe its time the good people of the US start boycotting Baltimore.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

I don’t see the problem. Replacing two Democrats with a Republican gun rights supporter works for me.

[DoodleDawg]

They’re replacing a statue of two men with no connection to Baltimore with another statue of one woman with no connection to Baltimore. The presences of one makes no more sense than the presence of the other.

[Vinnie]

History repeats itself.
Remember our sneering at the USSR for rewriting history?
Well here we go....

If we erase the Civil War is that going to take slavery, reparations with it?
Unintended consequences?

[Deplorable American1776]

The left wing/Communist folks are whitewashing (pardon the pun) American history. If a hero is a straight white male, he needs to be replaced by a gay/trans POC... 😞

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Where is her pistol! I read that they were removing her handgun from various scenes depicting the Underground railway.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

“Violent White Nationalist rally?” There were no Antifa there, then? /sarc

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
