In Dealing With Deeply Problematic Statues, The U.S. Could Take Some Cues From India

Why consume museum resources to honor settler colonialism or racism? India and former satellite states of the Soviet Union offer a different path. “In these places, no effort is made to preserve old statues. They’re just left to fade away. In India, the colonial monuments are fundamentally neutered in public, left to erode in a long-neglected park. In, say, Estonia, Soviet monuments are dumped to the side and kept largely out of view.” – The Boston Globe
