South Carolina is preparing to put up the first individual statue of an African American on its Statehouse lawn. The state is looking to honor Robert Smalls.
I’m not disagreeing with your proposals, but Robert Smalls absolutely deserves this statue. He’s an absolute badass.
I’d say Smalls and all the people I listed deserve statues.
