Keep an eye - a careful eye - on the history books, particularly the grade-school textbooks, and don't worry so much about statues.
Getting rid of a statue doesn't get rid of the underlying history, it just gets rid of an artifact. Rewriting the textbooks will get rid of the underlying history.
Whether a particular statue should continue to be displayed in public, on public property, should be a matter of concern to the local community, who should decide whether to keep the statue or not; the contents of the history books, however, should never be open to current community prejudices and biases.
