“Ironically, because of this history of distortion, the statue actually does represent the lynching memorial perfectly”

May 2, 2018 By Kathy Shaidle

The whole thing plays out like a game of telephone. A photo of South African miners at a medical exam became a sculpture of South African miners with their hands raised in surrender, which became a sculpture of inner-city American black men asking cops not to shoot, which became a monument to the lynching of post–Civil War Southern blacks.

And down the chain, not a fuck was given about context.
