In a news release, Fischer said moving this statue isn’t an effort to erase history.
“I know there has been talk of removing it and it’s kind of sad for us,” she said. “All the background that I knew about him, I didn’t think he was a racist person or had slaves or anything like that, but who am I to say, I don’t know.” Jennings said it’s been a long fight, not just here in Louisville, but around the country as people call for the removal of statutes that signify racial oppression.
