So, i mean, i would vote for having this removed but i really would hope that the Art Commission would make some efforts to figure out that with to do with the pedestal. Because the empty pedestal alone is not enough. I know in some cases there was the desire to put kind of a neting around some of the confederate sculpture that you could actually see through. You could you know, it was like a mesh that you could see through but it would be tied around the base and then there would be a plaque about why it was done that way.
