College professor says white marble statues promote racism
theblaze.com
University of Iowa professor Sarah Bond declared this week that white marble statues promote racism and “influence white supremacist ideas.”
Bond made the statement in an essay published Tuesday by the arts and culture blog, Hyperallergic. In the piece, which was titled, “Why we need to start seeing the classical world in color,” Bond made the argument that because people associate white marble with beauty, the sculptures should be altered to be a different color so that minorities “see themselves” in it.
“Most museums and art history textbooks contain a predominantly neon white display of skin tone when it comes to classical statues and sarcophagi. This has an impact on the way we view the antique world,” she wrote.
