@cbsnews: Cheers erupted as a 12-foot statue of Georgia congressman and civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis was unveiled over the weekend, replacing a Confederate monument that once stood in its place. The new statue took the place of an obelisk erected in 1908 by the United Daughters of Confederacy, but was taken down in 2020. #georgia #decatur #atlanta #johnlewis
John Lewis is my goat bro he worked his ass off for rights

The racism in these comments is crazy. What if Germany kept statues of nazis after the war? Shouldn't they be removed? Confederate statues were meant to edit history and exalt racists.

I hope they don't just trash the other statues tho, like I honestly believe they need to be put in museums because it's still important history and they help us not to forget the past so that we (1

Hurt comments are ridiculous. Seeing a confederate statue is a reminder of slavery and oppression. Rise up America and realize humanity starts with one act of kindness from each of us a day.

I agree that this statue is far better than the previous, but would it been better to preserve the older one in a history museum of sorts while still keeping this one of Lewis held up in his place?

Confederate statues are just a testament to the sore losers of the south who wanted the right to own black people. Germany doesn’t build statues of Hitler for “history”, do they? 🤦♂️

Good. All statues of those who fought for an enemy nation should be taken down.
