I'm not sure how you think that removing a statue changes/erases history. Statues are put up to honor an event or a person. The person/event still exists; we are simply refusing to honor it by having its monument in public view. It's my understanding that this statue isn't being destroyed, but moved to a more appropriate location. Why would that trouble you? Do you think you'll miss it?
Yes. I predicted this, here in this very thread! lol

Unpleasant history is the most important. Ever been to Europe? In many towns there are huge statues representing the Great Plague that destroyed half or more of the population. The Civil War destroyed more US soldiers than all the other US wars combined. Our children and grandchildren need to be reminded of this.
I agree 100%. So... are the European statues commemorating the Plague of people --the victims -- or of the rats that brought the fleas that carried the disease? There are memorials to the Holocaust in Europe as well. But none of them are of Hitler, Nazi generals, or German soldiers.
