Ole Miss student groups are coming together to protest the forthcoming restoration. The University of Mississippi NAACP chapter released a statement in collaboration with the Students Against Social Injustice (SASI) in which they lambasted Ole Miss for their decision to fix the damaged statue instead of retiring the controversial artwork.
“The repair and continued display of this monument by the University of Mississippi will be viewed as a disregard for the safety and inclusion of Black students, staff, and faculty,” the two student groups conveyed in the statement.
JoJo Brown, president of the Ole Miss NAACP, said the statue’s presence on campus is “not a good look.”

Take down MLK statues he was a WOMANIZER.
Refreshing.
This attitude of the complaining groups will be viewed as racist.
The safety of the students? Will the statue run after them and attack them?
Seeing a statue just makes me think crazy thoughts, want to do crazy things, like secede from the Union, or make mint juleps and sit on the veranda.
