I don't think that was the point. The point, as I see it, is that black people should not be forced to walk past a reminder of that period -- and its side effects which are STILL ONGOING -- every time they go to the park or walk into a public building, where they may well be going for reasons that are already stressful. Every one of these monuments is a painful reminder that they are STILL not considered full members of society.
