Regarding The Flap Over Confederate Statues

[Rev. Rye]

Fair enough on the "anti-statue movment" line. I just wanted to put a name to the issue and think it's possible to recontextualise the statues as a reminder of the darker chapters of our history now that we're at least trying to give black people the power and influence they deserve so we don't end up too complacent about our complicity in it.

Do you not think that contextualization is possible in a museum setting, a purely educational one that involves many other darker chapters of our history?

I think so. But, then again, given the size of many of those statues, I seriously question the feasibility of such an idea. And I suspect lumping them all together in one place and taking them out of their own backyard might potentially blunt the impact. But that's just me.
