Statues have been a sticking point in the last year or so.
It seems as though almost everyone who was hero enough to have a memorial to their contributions erected in a public area was also human enough to have darker aspects that have led people to ask for them to be pulled down.
Civil War-era statues? Even more so.
With 2020 being the year the whole country embraced protest, statues became a frequent and favorite target. In Lawrenceville, a war memorial was vandalized. A North Shore police memorial was vandalized more than once.
The statues have been big and small.
