Now They Want to Tear Down a George Washington Statue
August 17, 2017
The left has no natural stopping point. It keeps on going and
going. Whatever its current stated goal is, it's not a stopping point,
only the next step. And yes, it doesn't stop with Lee. It won't even
stop with Washington for that matter.
But yes, George is next on the statue hit list.
The Pentecostal Liberation Christian Center has had its own local issues. All sorts of issues.
But yes, George is next on the statue hit list.
A bronze statue of George Washington on horseback stands at the corner of 51st and King Drive, at the northwest entrance to Washington Park.And he's got a great idea for the next step.
Bishop James Dukes, pastor of Liberation Christian Center, said he wants the statue gone, and he wants George Washington’s name removed from the park.
He said he’s not necessarily asking the city rename the parks altogether. He suggested Washington Park could be named after former Mayor Harold Washington, and Jackson Park could be named after civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson or singer Michael Jackson.That's a tough one. Should Chicago name a park after a pedophile or a racist?
The Pentecostal Liberation Christian Center has had its own local issues. All sorts of issues.
Aretha Hence filed a lawsuit July 28 in the Cook County Circuit Court against Liberation Christian Center and James E. Dukes, alleging breach of contract.Maybe the park should be renamed after him?
According to the complaint, Hence made four loans to Dukes for Liberation Christian Center on multiple occasions in 2007 and 2009 for plumbing work, legal fees and the church's mortgage, but has only been repaid about $1,000.
Hence further claims she lent Dukes $75,000 that he allegedly told her would only need to sit in his bank account for a bank to see in order to make the decision to grant the church a mortgage. The suit states Dukes on Nov. 18 made a sworn testimony the loans were not gifts and the church would pay Hence back.
Both the church and Dukes are accused of breach of contract. Duke is also accused of fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation.
