🔥 Who belongs on a pedestal? And who decides?
Tonight on The Agenda, host Kerwin Gaines dives into a heated debate that goes beyond bronze and stone. The Caesar Rodney statue was removed from Wilmington’s Rodney Square during a moment of national reckoning. Now, some want it back. Others say it’s time to rethink who we honor in our public spaces.
🏛️ The Caesar Rodney Foundation argues history shouldn’t be erased, with Charlie Copeland and Brandon Brice making the case for the statue’s return. But Wilmington City Council President Ernest “Trippi” Congo says there’s more to the story—and that public honor should reflect our full history, not just one chapter.
📢 This isn’t just about a statue. It’s about identity, power, and truth—and the choices we make about our past, present, and future.
🔹 Should the statue return?
🔹 What does public commemoration really mean?
🔹 And who gets to decide? Join the conversation. Tonight on The Agenda.
