'Problematic' Roosevelt statue at American Museum of Natural History finds new home
https://abcnews.go.com/US/problemat...useum-natural-history-finds/story?id=81300006


A "problematic" statue of Theodore Roosevelt outside the American Museum of Natural History in New York City that has been criticized for symbolizing colonialism and racism has found a new home, more than a year after the city announced it will be removed.

The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library said Friday it has agreed to take the statue of the former president, which has stood on the steps of the museum since 1940, for a long-term loan.


Members of the Roosevelt family have voiced support for the statue's removal and relocation.

"Rather than burying a troubling work of art, we ought to learn from it," Theodore Roosevelt V said in a statement. "It is fitting that the statue is being relocated to a place where its composition can be recontextualized to facilitate difficult, complex, and inclusive discussions."

The library said it plans to establish an advisory council, made up of indigenous tribal and Black communities, historians, scholars and artists, "to guide the recontextualization of the statue."

Maybe a giant chessboard.

like Wizards Chess from the Harry Potter series! i'll bet we could round up enough statues to EASILY play. probably not enough pawns though. too many statues of presidents & generals, and not nearly enough of privates & voters...☹

If an atheist brought some bibles they checked out of the library, would they burn those too?
Asking for a friend🤣

only the King James versions. then, they would toss the atheist into the fire. "well, we figured he was gonna burn in hell anyway, so..."

I have copies of my recently finished, self-published Manifesto available, but if I were to donate them to the fire,

future generations will never understand why I did the depraved, utterly despicable but necessary thing that I did

to prove once and for all why it had to be done. :whistling:

.......... for the good of mankind of course. :shucks:
