Buying statues doesn’t change anything. Behavior and attitudes need to change. Brainard thinks he can buy anything and that is the real problem. Statues don’t resolve anything, Jim. Grow up.
I would like to see Seward Johnson do a bronze of a homeless person sleeping under a Monon Trail underpass as a representation of diversity and inclusion.
Way to joke about the unfortunate among us, John F.! I guess that’s normal in Carmel.
Maybe we can get a sculpture of a white police officer pulling over a black driver with a Marion County license plate?
Heartwarming to see Carmel working to ensure other ethnic groups can be represented with grotesque public art.
Good thing Carmel has money to burn on public art projects. Glad I’m not paying taxes there.
Anybody know how to spell “T O K E N”?
I appreciate the effort to make diversity more visible through art. I would have rather seen the budget for public art stay at $1.3m, but make investment in racially diverse art as a priority and cut something else to cover the costs. I’d like to see tough decisions made that demonstrate fiscal responsibility AND the priority of diversity & inclusion.
After the mayor’s inappropriate and ill-timed actions following George Floyd’s murder, the racists writings and comments from a Carmel based Catholic priest, and the exposure of wide spread and parent-enabled racially motivated hate within Carmel Schools, Mayor Brainard needs to lead and demonstrate values that we can be proud of instead of actions and underlying values that are the source of his citizens’ embarrassment and shame.
What do these statues do to help racial inequality? Nothing. The money should have went to programs to help.
Many people are jobless, many don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Yet Carmel wastes this amount of money to shallowly display a false image they care?
Shameful.
