From What is the real story behind the removal of the MLK, Jr. bust from downtown? by Roch Smith jr:
"Subsequent DGI meeting minutes show that DGI wants to install a 9/11
memorial in the spot where the MLK bust was. This raises more questions.
If the MLK bust was getting bumped into by cars, why would a 9/11
memorial not be endangered in this spot too? And if the MLK bust could
be moved to the median, why couldn’t the 9/11 memorial go there to begin
with so that the MLK bust could return to its home after being
refurbished?
Clearly, the public is not being given straight answers. All we have
to judge are the facts. The MLK, Jr. bust has been removed from its
prominent location downtown, will be refurbished with a grant from
Lincoln Financial, and relocated to the outskirts of the south side of
downtown. Whatever the nonsensical explanations for why, those are the
factual what."
Do we really need a 9/11 Memorial in Greensboro? At the expense of memorials to great leaders from our past? Why not tear down memorials to Steven Tanger and put the 9/11 memorial there instead? After all, Steven Tanger isn't even dead... yet.
The real story of the MLK bust is that Greensboro's rich white liberal elites don't want to remember men like Martin Luther King. And they'd rather you didn't either.
