Chicago reviewing statues of Lincoln, Washington, other US icons for possible 'action'
Fox News
The city of Chicago has developed a new initiative that will allow the Chicago community and local experts to review statues and monuments in the area.
The Chicago Monuments Project aims to "grapple with the often unacknowledged – or forgotten – history ... and provides a vehicle to address the hard truths of Chicago’s racial history, confront the ways in which that history has and has not been memorialized, and develop a framework for marking public space that elevates new ways to memorialize Chicago's history more equitably and accurately." About 40 monuments have been identified "for public discussion," including those memorializing former President George Washington, Union Army commanding general and former President Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Franklin, Columbus and a police officer representing the Haymarket massacre.
