Need to replace them with something.

Like a big ass fountain sculpted after this Kehinde Wiley piece in front of 1600 Pennysylvania Ave.

The statues of Tubman and Douglas are very tasteful.

I would like to see statues of them set on pedestals, or larger even, as the point is that these people were larger than life and so you would want to make sure you evoke that.

Passerbys should be gazing up at and not down into them.

Good point about placement and perspective.
