It is long since past the time for these statues to go away from Monument Avenue - to a museum site or the scrap heap, whatever is least expensive.  Why continue to venerate these images of White Supremacy?  They are a visual image of structural racism. They will continue to attract grafitti artists and protesters as long as they stand.  Anywhere on Monument Avenue or anywhere else in a public space, our First Amendament right to protest should not be restricted by permits, or time of day.
