      Brundage notes that "public" monuments often driven by "private" interests. Cf. history of one of Houston's statues: exhibits.library.rice.edu/exhibits/show/dick-dowling/afterlives-of-dick-dowling/4

    As usual, #EverythingHasAHistory, including historical monuments. Telling those histories important: statues are not unchanging fixtures.
