I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen the statue of Teddy Roosevelt in the front of the Museum of Natural History in New York City. The statue that is now being taken down.
I first saw it as a child on one of the many trips I was taken on to the Museum. More recently, I passed it with a grandchild that I was taking to the Museum.
I must have been exposed to so many other statues, works of art and symbols that must now be re-examined. More difficult will be the necessary process of recognizing the impact of those many messages that shaped my perspectives. Perspectives imbedded that need to be exposed to the healing sunlight.
