Sacrifice Certain Statues

To the Editor:

As a yearly visitor to LBI I am always impressed with SandPaper letters. But recently I jumped at “Overwhelming Response” (9/27) concerning the statues controversy. The writer opined that we need more history and in particular”true history” and “the whole history,” seeming to imply that removingstatues of Confederate heroes from the public square would lessen thattruth and wholeness.

Is there such a thing as “true” or “whole” history? I doubt it.
