Richmond, Va., has been an epicenter of the controversy. Its most prominent city symbols — a procession of sculpted Civil War leaders — just sparked protests for days. The statues stand near the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, where a contemporary sculpture by Kehinde Wiley reminds that Black lives not only matter, they can create powerful, stunning works of art. Wiley, a 43-year-old African American artist, is best known for painting an official portrait of President Barack Obama at the National Portrait Gallery.

What has ever been equal here ? Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Carnegie and the rest had the money and the rest of us have had to work to get by. We are supposed to get equal treatment under the law , but that only happens if you have enough money to be treated right.
