Our appraisal of humans, and certainly this means humans that we erect statues of, should be based on an understanding of the causes and results of their actions, as well as the actions themselves. This understanding is the context that Professor Holzer values. Why not explain the statues at their sites—technologies exist for this—instead of destroying or defacing them? New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu’s decision was to move the statues to another place but not to destroy them. His address eloquently provided the reasons for his actions: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a5...onuments/. Although I support Landrieu’s actions, I think Holzer’s choice is the better one. Let’s confront ignorance with education.
