   “'I think that this is a sign of a deep sickness to think that you could go to the National Museum of African-American History and Culture and feel the need to erase how Black people got here,' emphasized Jones, who added, 'To erase or minimize the slavery and freedom part of that story is to create a fantasy of how we got here. We literally would not be in the United States without slavery.’”

     Every person should feel angry and take action not only because this is denying Blacks their history but it is doing the same for whites.
     How can those of us wanting to educate other whites about racism with the hope to end it do so when historical markers disappear?
     Whites started racism we need to end it so why allow this to perpetuate the problem.
