Civil War II, Nov. 1: N.C., Georgia and Emmett Till
Alerts for Confederate Nov. 1, 2019.
** Confederate statue remains in Chatham County. (Pittsboro, N.C.)
** As NC reckons with Confederate monuments, marker in Georgia supplies historical context. As in they were fighting for slavery. I am very willing to have these context markers put up as long as the statues remain.
** Why the Emmett Till memorial briefly sat in front of the Confederate monument. The Emmett Till marker has been repeatedly vandalized, most often with bullets because of its way out in the country location. This is nothing short of a hate crime and if the offenders are apprehended, they should be charged as such.
I consider desecration to Confederate statues a hate crime as well. Offenders should be treated as such.
** Civil War Medal of Honor recipient reburied at veterans cemetery. (Not CW II)
** Relocating statues at University of Texas campus won't change our history.
