Abraham Lincoln Statue Controversies Web Archive

Collected by: The Board Trustees of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Archived since: Apr, 2021

Description:

The Abraham Lincoln Statue Controversies collection contains captured webpages that lend insight to the ongoing tensions over statues in light of the fight for racial justice and the reconsideration of who and what is memorialized. This collection focuses on statues and memorials of Abraham Lincoln located in public spaces and institutions throughout the United States, including parks, intersections, and colleges and universities. Web content contains material both in support of and against the removal of Lincoln statues, memorials, and monuments, including news articles, social media posts, legislative documents, letters of support, and petitions. Also includes web content on Lincoln statue vandalism and activism. Several captures surround the Emancipation Memorial statue found in Boston, Massachusetts (removed December 2020), and Washington, D.C. Webpages were curated by the Illinois History and Lincoln Collections in accordance with their mission of documenting Abraham Lincoln's life and legacy.
