This is the kind of story that does need to be commemorated with a monument. I think when Biden wins (it keeps me sane to say that) we should appoint a citizen's commission-- including historians like you, to share these stories and figure out what new monuments we need, and what to do with the ones that need to be moved.

Imagine a monument to Sergeant William Harvey Carney the first African American to be awarded a Medal of Honor.
