They are going to rename Washington state to Barrack Hussein Obama
The next stop could be to remove all links to former colonial powers, and of course that would include France and that big statue they gave the US as a gift, which is known as the State of Liberty. Lets also not forget that at one time the French were involved in the slave trade, so in relation to the current US administrations thinking it's future should be under consideration.
Not sure if anyone has chimed in yet with this little quote but if not, it's quite prescient.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
in biden's America, that quote should be displayed front and center in every public building in the country.
Okay...in Atlanta 3 statues are honoring MLK. Do you think that a certain group of people would accept removing 2 of the statues since he will still have one?

I do appreciate the MLK street names. It lets me I’m know in a high crime area.

Maybe the Statue of Liberty can be replaced with the Statue of Equity? George Floyd holding up a syringe instead of a torch.
In addition to the Statue, they are removing the model house AND will eventually remove the entire Penn Timeline exhibit.
But they aren't trying to erase history...
I find it interesting how the right views any changes as an erasure when the link clearly states that the site is "proposed" to being updated and expanded to reflect more accurately what it represents and they are soliciting inputs from the public.
The timeline you mention " new exhibit panels will be installed on the south site wall to replace the Penn timeline." and i'll bet the statue is given a new home somewhere also. Ever consider that the park doesn't get a lot of traffic and an updated presentation might help to resolve that...

I have no idea how this is supposed to refute what that person wrote. He accurately stated what is written in that link, then you repeated back his statement about what is written in that link. Yet you act as if you're proving him wrong or something.
I still don't know what's so Native American about Philadelphia. Nothing that I can see.
