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.
