Keep the Jack London Bust in Whitehorse, YT

Keep the Jack London Bust in Whitehorse, YT
Why this petition matters

There is a petition to remove the bust of Jack London in Whitehorse. We believe is should stay up.
No human is perfect, past or present. Those imperfections are what make us all human. What's important is the good you do, the positive impact you make on the world.
Jack London created many beloved books and has a large amount of local history in the Yukon. During his life, he learned more about the people and cultures he loved and changed his views over time. He is an excellent example of how one can change their viewpoint to be a better person. The bust commemorates that contribution.
There is a push to erase history, part of that is to remove statues of imperfect people, ignoring the step forward that each person made to bring us to this point. History is not a subjective idea. It is objective and informative to help us all make better decisions for the future.
This petition thing wants us to have more words so we are going to say more things.
