@Barros_heritage @academicchatter @histodons @histodon @anthropology @culturalheritage @archaedons There’s a difference between remembering history and celebrating it. It’s important to remember the mistakes and ugly moments of the past, in order to learn from them. However, glorification through statues should be reserved for worthy people and causes who deserve it.

This article is very interesting to understand the problem of statues commemorating historical figures: "Why every single statue should come down" by Gary Younge (The Guardian, 2021).
