Controversial Chicago Landmarks - News Summed Up

Controversial Chicago Landmarks


Towards the end of February, the City of Chicago announced that 41 public monuments were "under review." On the Chicago Monuments Project website, city residents are encouraged to give feedback on the listed statues, reliefs, and plaques. I don't see any reason why the five Lincoln statues are under review, and I can't think of one on my own. Who we choose to exalt, or not, through public tributes says something about the time and place that produce them. Even worse are the lacking public acknowledgements of the immeasurable gifts Black Chicago has contributed to music.
