It’s a nice gesture. But I don’t think anybody would’ve held it against them, so it probably wasn’t necessary. I do agree with everybody extracting all of the other many racist relics, icons, symbols, terms, sayings, statues, flags, etc. from American culture though. These are things that shouldn’t be memorialized or honored. Leave them in the history books to be remembered as the were, instruments of hatred and violence. Not standing or sitting proudly at parks and on our government and university buildings.
