One doesn't need to travel through time to make an effort to atone, but it might require voting for representatives who don't embrace that past (again, it's a collective matter so the fact that some people would support the right thing isn't the same as the willpower existing to make it a priority).

Edit: That was an important word to miss.

I don't doubt that parts are changing, but the same tempo that's too fast for some is glacial for others. Adopting something official to clearly communicate the intention to change might help outsiders to believe it, at the very least it would help make it clear that a majority actually do support change.

Andrew Jackson was not a man you wanted to mess with.

His attempted assassin had to be protected from him, not the other way around.

Aw, but he's Trump's favorite President (next to himself).

Even more of a reason to remove the statue.I wish someone would paint it orange.
