Farewell Emancipation Statue (8pm) - a podcast by WBZ-AM

A statue of Abraham Lincoln which has memorialized the emancipation of slaves for the past 141 years in Boston's Park Square is coming down. The Boston Art Commission has voted unanimously to remove the monument. They say the issue is the depiction of a freed slave with shackles kneeling in front of Lincoln. The Mayor says the decision was the right one after engaging in a public process that made clear people were uncomfortable with the statue. Do you agree or disagree with the statute’s removal?
