At a time when people across the U.S. are questioning the existence of shrines, memorials, & monuments to those who fought to preserve slavery—condoned & participated in terrorism against Black Americans after Emancipation—we should be fighting to replace them all with monuments like Dwight’s.

In response to Denise Oliver-Velez.
One of the most moving monuments I have ever seen was created by sculptor Ed Dwight. It encompasses not just the Juneteenth Emancipation but also the road that led to it in Texas. It sits on the grounds of the Texas Capitol in Austin. Sadly, its neighbor monuments honor the Confederacy.
