And Now This, About Those Andrew Jackson Statues
From the December 16, 2019, Kansas City (Mo.) Star "Frank White says minority groups should have had a say about Andrew Jackson statues" by Mike Hendricks.
Over the objections of Jackson County Chief Executive Frank White, the county legislative assembly voted Monday to affix historical context plaques to statues of Andrew Jackson outside the Kansas City courthouse and the Historic Truman Courthouse in Independence.
He would like some input on those plaques from Blacks and Indians on what the plaques say about his being a slaveholder and what he did to the Indians as both a military leader and president.
Well, at least they aren't being taken down (yet) and as of yet haven't been the victims of hate crimes from you-know-who.
And, in case you are wondering, Mr. White is a black man.
But at least the drive here is for context, not destruction and removal.
