Here’s an action alert: write The Nation and complain about their faux-lefty piece. The Arnautoff murals are not there to “remind black people of oppression.” They are there as a critique of the canonization of George Washington and yes, they remind one that this progenitor of American liberty held slaves. They don’t have any of the really gruesome scenes, like pulling their teeth out so he could use them in his own dentures, which he also did.
Axé.
