The statue is part of history, should have been left alone. They take Calhoun down but want King to rise. We already have a holiday for King, we should have a day for Calhoun. They both changed history, they should both be treated the same. Now talking about changing name of Calhoun Street, what about King Street? History has not always been fair, but it is still history.
