division of races in the country and an incredibly painful past. Another issue is that in the current climate of our country, racial inequities are still a concern. These statues to the Confederate era only continue to remind people of the division between races. These statues serve as a painful reminder to African Americans of a violent time in history towards their race, in addition to the violence that still occurs in racially motivated acts of aggression in our current time. Statues honoring white supremacy need to be removed from public land. They celebrate a horrific and violent time in the history of the Unites States where racial aggression was encouraged. Steps need to be taken to remove them from public areas, and that starts with you, the public. Let your political representatives know your stance, let them know you will not tolerate monuments that encourage racial division. Let them know that if these monuments remain they will continue to foster racial tension within the country, which is unacceptable to the American public.
