🤔"OK fine, abolitionists designed the Statue Of Liberty, and abolitionists paid for the Statue Of Liberty, and abolitionists built the Statue of Liberty...
But what did the US government say about the Statue of Liberty when it was installed and unveiled? If all this was so woke, why weren't there woke speeches? Maybe the meaning had changed by the time it was delivered?"
