In the face of public criticism of the installation, Kershaw defended the statue by saying, "Somebody needs to say a good word for slavery."

The statue has been shot at more than once, vandalized regularly over the years and more recently updated with Black Lives Matter slogans, but always repaired.[11][12] Protestors even tried to pull it down by tying it to a train.[13] It is protected by a padlocked gate.
