A statue of Frederick Douglass, installed in 2018 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the abolitionist's birth, was ripped from its pedestal in Rochester, N.Y., on Sunday — the 168th anniversary of one of Douglass' most famous speeches.
"Are the great principles of political freedom and natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?" Douglass asked in his "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July" address on July 5, 1852, in Rochester.

WOKE!
The Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial was one of 16 public art works damaged when thousands of protesters swarmed Boston Common on Sunday night. ( 1 month ago)
The conservator's recent prep work protected the front of the bronze relief with plywood, but its granite backside was vandalized with four-letter words and phrases including “Black Lives Matter,” “No Justice, No Peace,” and “Police are Pigs.”

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

Do those idiots understand Douglas was an abolitionist a person who was opposed to slavery. Or is the whole idea a plan to strip this country of it's past good and bad?

Kudos to New York for having a statue of this nation's most prominent abolitionist.
Why does the south have far more public statutes of Confederate rebels who waged war on the American army and fought to protect slavery, than they do of statues of people who fought to end slavery?

About time they put up a statue of Paul Robeson outside the White House.
