Remember?

A statue of James Chesterfield stands in what used to be the main square of Eastpointe. The hero of the Battle of Cooper's Farm now stands alone among a collection of abandoned and derelict buildings. One of his arms used to point out toward the future which at the time seemed as if it had limitless possibilities. That arm now lies on the ground beside the statue. In red spray paint across the pedestal on which Chesterfield stands someone long ago wrote the word "remember" followed by a question mark. A more recent response in green paint underneath it read, "No."
