As we approach Juneteenth, 89% of the House GOP voted this week to restore a statue depicting “an enslaved Black ‘mammy’ holding the infant child of a White [confederate] officer, as an enslaved Black man follows the officer off to war” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
To contextualize the article, the argument is the statue is a symbol of unity. How you suppose? Well there is a black woman holding a white baby, and if you view the statue stripped of all historical context, it looks anti-racist.
