The proper response should have been to cancel the project outright.

It was a noble experiment for many decades; seven decades at least.

I guess now even college professors don’t believe in it.

Possibly some school teachers still do.

In related news, black physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson keeps talking about white physicist Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Somebody oughta contact somebody about this.

“Bagwell said Philadelphia made the right choice because Tubman is “personal” to black people.”

I suspect that 80% of hood ain’t got no idea who be Harriet Tubman.

Philly can prepare themselves for another MLK laughing stock.

The critics demanded Philadelphia find a black sculptor instead, no matter their qualifications. The city ultimately acquiesced

They’ll probably end up with something like this…
