Past Being Erased

When monuments are torn down in America, our history is blurred. Whether the actors in the bygone history were heroes or villains, if we eradicate the edifice on which our nation has been constructed, we will never know. The proper way to address the events of the past, great or terrible, is not to destroy that which commemorates them but to educate about them. If they were crimes, have people discerning enough to figure that out without knocking down statues.
