Most Virtuous And Wise

Could it be moved, unlike, say, a fresco, or the bas-relief on Stone Mountain? If not, then you are stuck with it where it is.

Has anyone complained? If not, then no one has complained. But if someone has, then someone has.

Would you put it up today, as an expression of civic culture in the public square? If not, then it now belongs in a museum.

Answering that last question is a matter for the democratic political process. But direct action is as integral to that process as a committee meeting is. Each has a role.

And of course nowhere would now express its civic culture by putting up a statue of a slave trader. If it takes a spot of direct action to get that moved to a museum, then it takes a spot of direct action to get that moved to a museum.
