I see what you're saying. Roosevelt was an odd person, and that lead him to do many things that I think were instrumental to his greatness. As for policy for the US, was a progressive and all about moving forward. Physically speaking, he had the jitters and could not keep still. Moving and being on a horse were normal for him. I think the statue was made by a largely colonial and white-dominated society, but I think it can help the inquisitive mind realize that Roosevelt's progressive nature came from his unique life experiences. How does a white man born into privilege and money become a leader for the working class and nature preservation? It's through his experiences, and we should all discuss them. Addendum: this image of Roosevelt at Harvard is often used when discussing his inability to sit still https://i.imgur.com/qPO2H74.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qPO2H74.jpg. He can't wait for the picture to be done so he can go back to wrestling or whatever. He was constantly moving, and in my opinion he would not have become a noteworthy person had he not put himself in situations where he came into contact with people of different social status or races.
