How to navigate historical acknowledgment in shared spaces

Our workplace is in a building with complicated history and there's been talk about acknowledging that with some kind of memorial or plaque, but our team is divided between people who think it's performative and people who think ignoring it is worse, and the conversation keeps stalling because no one wants to be the one pushing too hard either way.
