Anais, 26, who wants to remove the Emancipation statue in Lincoln Park in Washington, DC, argues with a man who argues to keep it, June 25th, 2020. Critics say the Emancipation Memorial "which shows Lincoln holding a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation as an African American man in a loincloth kneels at his feet" is demeaning in its depiction of African Americans. The drive to remove the statue comes amid a wave of calls to take down monuments of Confederate generals.
