Quite a few years ago I went to New York City, for the first time, and noticed that the front entrance of the Natural History Museum, there, had an imposing statue of Teddy Roosevelt, on horseback, with a Black enslaved man and a Native American, on foot alongside him. Photo below.
I mentioned it to New Yorker Al Supreme, who used to post on here, and he agreed it was an egregious display of white supremacy. Well, I wrote the museum a letter about the major affront it represented. Quite a few years later, Al sent me a post on Facebook of the impending removal. Not that my letter was the reason they removed it, but whenever we point out our grievances it has some impact.
