link: The Chicago Monuments Project Advisory Committee

The Chicago Monuments Project Advisory Committee is a group of community leaders, artists, architects, scholars, curators, and city officials, who are dedicating their time, experience, and expertise to lead this effort. This broad coalition will engage with a wide range of communities and world views to ask questions and bring the perspectives required to do this work on behalf of all Chicago’s people.

History

The Chicago Monuments Project is calling out the hard truths of our history — especially as they relate to racism and oppression.

Histories and stories shown in many of our monuments are false and harmful representations that are offensive to many people.

Telling a true and inclusive history is important, as is addressing who gets to tell those stories in public space.

Our priority is to address ignored, forgotten and distorted histories.

And let me guess, replace them with statues of Barry and Michael? Stalin? Che?

“Broad coalition” my ass.

Angry Italians in Chicago. I’ve seen that movie.

[LegendHasIt]

Lemme guess:

Obamas (both Barry and Mike).
George Floyd.
Jussie Smollett
Jessie Jackson
Al Sharpton.
Oprah
Beyonce
And maybe Lightfoot herself

When a society starts purging it's history it's a sure sign that it won't last much longer. A few years ago they started the purge of confederate leader statues, now they're going after Washington, Jefferson, Madison, etc. because they owned slaves. Never mind that they were the founders of the most successful country in the history of the world, nah, that doesn't matter.

Countries that purge history aren't free. These are things that China and the Taliban do, not free countries. Talk about the past, discussion is healthy. Purging the past? That's the realm of tyrants.

Lightfoot didn't send any reinforcements

remove every member of that crap commission instead

[TygertLane]

Chicago task force recommends no removal of the George Floyd statue.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

All removed statues should be replaced with wacky waving inflatable tube men. The more ridiculous the better.

I didn’t realize that all of the removals cost the taxpayers nothing./s

So after all of the statues that have been removed so far, can the left show us one person who’s life has been made better by these liberal tantrums?

[SmokingJoe]

What are they going to do about the super high murders and killings numbers in Chicago, by some distance the highest in the country?

[Bon of Babble]

Here is a good and appropriate suggestion from New Orleans which "celebrates the end of slavery":
