If we don't learn our history, we are bound to repeat it.

Artists, painters and sculptors and builders, are usually contracted, to be eternal recorders of History. Statues for instance record wars and events no matter how tragic, horrendous or glorious, their contribution is to stand as a strong reminder what has come before our time. So that it never happens again. Statues and murals tell a story good it bad without taking sides. The plaques underneath each can qualify the subject matter in its historic place, and isn’t perhaps what should change if necessary. And viewings of these statues and murals of course symbolize different things to different viewers, but they do not need to accomplish anything but an education of what once happened. To view one is to see an imprint in time. We can not erase history nor should we try. Removing these important recordings of history in one emotional swell of Now, will only last for awhile. And the generations after us will not know them at all- Will not know the triumphs or horrible mistakes that the depicted individuals or groups made in History. So most certainly the mistakes will be tragically repeated eventually as times are cyclical, high and low, like the swings of a pendulum. It’s therefore extremely dangerous to remove symbols of the history of anything- especially that of African American Blacks and their terrible oppression and slavery. “Man should not ignore History, or he is destined to repeat it.” This has happened.
