The Emancipation Group Memorial in Boston’s Park Square was removed Tuesday morning. The statue depicts a formerly enslaved Black man kneeling before President Abraham Lincoln.
Critics said the memorial was racist and demeaning. Dorchester native and social media influencer Tory Bullock started a petition to remove the sculpture earlier this year. It quickly racked up thousands of signatures and the Boston Art Commission voted unanimously in June to have it taken down.
“It’s an amazing funeral, I’m here to provide a silent eulogy for this piece of artwork that’s been here for 141 years,” Bullock told WBZ-TV Tuesday as the statue was hauled away on a flatbed truck.
“I’m proud, I’m Black, and I’m young. This image has been doing a lot of disservice to African-Americans in Boston and now it stops.”
“We’re pleased to have taken it down this morning,” Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
