Boise protest put spotlight on Lincoln s complicated history

Lincoln is known as the Great Emancipator. He ended slavery, but did he stand for racial justice? Author: Erin Sheridan (The Idaho Press) Published: 12:07 PM MDT April 9, 2021 Updated: 12:07 PM MDT April 9, 2021 BOISE, Idaho Editor s Note: This article was originally published by the Idaho Press. Many Idahoans were shocked to learn in early February that activists had desecrated Boise’s “Seated Lincoln” statue with red paint. Lincoln is a beloved historical figure to many who consider him the father of Idaho for creating the Territory of Idaho in 1863. Shock was the point of the peaceful protest. The red paint meant to signify blood was made of nontoxic, biodegradable chalk that washes away easily. The protest, which also included hand-lettered signage, came on the first day of Black History Month and was meant to highlight Lincoln’s complicated history with race.
