Topic	Trump says Black Americans should learn HISTORY or they will go back to SLAVERY
adjl 06/29/20 11:33:51 PM #11:	SeahorseCpt89 posted... History books and museums tell history. Statues honor history. Removing statues does not make us forget about slavery, it just removes the thing that glorifies it. Heck, if you really want to educate people about slavery with a statue, put up a statue that depicts it in place of the ones that just depict some guy with no context. As an added bonus, that's likely to be a lot more artistically interesting than another simple human statue, as well as being a nice way of getting around the issue that humans are humans and every historical figure has done some bad things at some point in their life that shouldn't be glorified. --- This is my signature.
