Maybe a bronze plaque is in order here...

They could sell bricks on ebay.

Sometimes an obsession is just that...an obsession.

Who the hell even knew the Wright Brothers had a bike shop.

This building was NOT made to last forever.

Put a sign on the property and be done with it.

Surely they realize that airline travel is part of systematic racism and the site should be destroyed?????

Wright Brothers ... weren’t two white brothers

tear it down!

Why do white people have to go and invent everything and not leave anything for BIPOCs to invent?

[MtnClimber]

Of course, the Wright Brothers were white and wanted to invent an airplane before black people in Africa could tell the world they had done it centuries earlier.

The shop that the brothers owned when they flew was actually taken down, along with their home, and rebuilt up in Dearborn Michigan at Ford’s Greenfield Village. You can walk through them and see it how it was during that period of use. If this building had any value, I am sure old Henry would have scooped it up as well.

TEAR IT DOWN! We don’t need symbols like THAT in America!

We should PURGE all remembrances of the White Brothers. /s

I saw all the Wright Brothers shop good stuff on display in the Smithsonian Museum of Aviation.

All the drawings, the various jigs and templates were there on display. The good stuff is safe in the Smithsonian for everybody to see

Wright Brothers, phooey!

Otto Lilienthal was flying gliders in 1891 (up to over 1,000’ in height).

Gustave Whitehead pioneered powered flight (in Connecticut) and first flew on August 14, 1901 - this was while the Wright Bros. were fiddling with bicycles and almost two years before their flight in NC.

Why the cover-up?

The Smithsonian Institution has the Wright Flyer ON LOAN from a British museum in perpetuity UNLESS another person/institution was found to have flown (powered) prior...

The Smithsonian will not even - honestly - investigate Gustav Whitehead.

[Tom in SFCA]

Then there’s this...

[euram]

why bother to preserve it, the Wright brothers were undoubtedly “white supremacists”

[Political Junkie Too]

Everyone knows the Wright brothers only invented the airplane so that cities can put airports in black communities to separate them from white neighborhoods.

That's called "infrastructure," white supremacy style.
