The Importance of Community Statues

I think some statues should be taken down. What disturbs me is the way that it's often done without serious thought or nuance. I would say those people, whether they're famous or not in every community and my guess is that almost every community had them who embodied the ideals we would like our communities to uphold. Paul Robeson just occurred to me off the top of my head but there are plenty of others. It's something that we should be not afraid to claim.
