Time To Come Off The High Horse
Please sign this petition in efforts to do away with the negative history and landmarks surrounding Lexington.
Why is this important?
Our petition is about promoting empowerment, and positive American History. Lexington, KY is full of positive uplifting history, however our city is littered with negative landmarks. Streets named after public lynching sights and slave auctions "cheapside" referring to the cheap slaves and live stock. Lexingtons "old" courthouse has a Confederate solider statue on Main St next to Cheapside. We feel taking action to have this statue removed would be taking a step closer to rid our country of racial insensitivity.
