Can someone please point me to where it says that the statue will have a woman,
white man and
black man raising it? This petition says nothing to the regard and is very
vague AFAIK. I hope
they erect it the exact way the picture was taken, but I'm a little wary of
signing such a vague
petition. The wording can be manipulated to mean a lot of things.
just my 2 cents.
