О разрушении исторических памятников

[ny_quant]

Building the monuments was a way of showing who is on top: taking them down is a way of doing the same. But assertion of power relations exacerbates conflict and detracts from the advancement of true equality. ...
The monuments are about a particular interpretation of history that held sway in a part of the country for decades, and as such are themselves historical artifacts that can inform and instruct.

Интересно, почему не сносят Линкольна? Он, конечно, был против рабства, но был жутким расистом и за сегрегацию. Думаю, и до него руки дойдут.
