Patrick Henry Park

Richmond should be ashamed. Fucking ashamed I say!
These Confederate scalawags* have gigantic, Lincoln-​fucking-​Memorial size statutes for cowards and traitors, like D.B. Robert E. Lee and D.B. Jefferson Davis; and not to mention some thirty-​year-​old General that no one even knows. (One has got to wonder how much time he spent on his knees to get that promotion.) Yet, Patrick Henry gets this?
*See what I did there?
See, on one hand: Building-​size monuments on Monument Avenue for these American Terrorists; however, on the other: a corroded, deteriorating plaque that is located on a minuscule, forgotten park in full blight for the O.G. Patrick Henry.
How dare you! How dare you …
Patrick Henry deserves all of Monument Ave. All of it, goddammit!
Everywhere there is a statute of some piece of filth Confederate, there should be instead one of Patrick Henry in a noticeably distinct pose. One of Patrick riding a stallion; one of Patrick giving a speech; one of Patrick brushing his hair; one of Patrick reading a book; one of Patrick licking a stamp; one of Patrick cleaning his gun; et. cetera.
One of Patrick in a pair of breeches playing with a kitten.

Postscript. How dare you Richmond.

This historick park, nestled in Church Hill, is directly across St. John’s Church, where Patrick Henry delivered his speech on «Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death». This park is rather small than most parks in RVA, being only one city block wide, but it is a great place for a lunch time snack. It has a few park benches and some space where kids can play. It is near busy E Broad Street so it is often passed by traffic. Not well lit in the evenings, so I would venture only during the day. On a summer day this park will be a great retreat from the summer heat with all the beautifully large trees. Parking is easy but you will have to park on the side streets if you want to visit. Small and quaint, the history behing the park is larger than the park itself.
