1* Several of our early presidents including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were slave owners. Should their names be removed from public places and statues in their honor taken down?

2* Two of the four presidents honored on Mount Rushmore were slave owners. Should that monument be closed or changed?

3* Is it better to erase the wrongs of the past or try to learn from them?
