San Francisco to spend $600K on whitewashing a racist mural
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 29th, 2019 12:21 AM Author: '"""'""'''"' “There’s been this whole discussion about whitewashing history as if a mural is the only way to talk about history,” Mr. Cook said, “or as if that history is an accurate depiction of the full experiences of people of that time. I think that argument really limits the nuances in how dynamic that time was and all the contributions African slaves made to the country, that indigenous Americans gave to settlers. To think that those two depictions are it is baffling.”

A mural in the lobby of George Washington High School.CreditJim Wilson/The New York Times Mr. Cook said he wanted to get the vote out of the way so the board could move on to bigger issues, such as the school district’s widening achievement gap and chronic absenteeism.
Some were not pleased with the board’s decision, including Lope Yap Jr., the vice president of the school’s alumni association.

“The content and the art quality is priceless,” Mr. Yap said. “Every day — in contrast to opponents — teachers, librarians use it as a teaching point. No matter where I go, no matter who I meet, 85 percent of people are in favor of retaining the murals.”
Mr. Yap said the murals served as “reminders of what was, what is and what should never happen again.”
“What better place,’’ he said, “to have these kinds of discussions while a student is going through their educational process.”
He said those who want to preserve the murals would consider legal action.
Three months ago, when the issue began making headlines, the Russian Community Council of the U.S.A. created an online petition to preserve Arnautoff’s mural. As of Thursday, more than 1,000 people had signed it. The group’s goal is 1,500.
The school board has yet to decide whether the murals will be covered with panels or painted over. Covering the murals with panels would cost between $600,000 and $845,000 and would be completed within the next two years, Mr. Cook said. Painting would first require an environmental impact study that would cost about $500,000. The cost of the painting would be on top of the bill for the study and would extend the timeline. |

Date: June 29th, 2019 12:31 AM Author: Confuseddood During the Great Depression, a Communist got hired as an artist by the WPA to paint shit around San Francisco. So he painted a mural in a high school of white settlers bloodily oppressing Indians and slaves. But today, the graphic images are, according to certain shitlibs, too offensive, even though they were intended to depict Anglos in a very negative light. So some of the shitlibs are trying to have the murals painted over, and other shitlibs are trying to save them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4292549&forum_id=2#38458932) |
