It Started in Pittsboro Back in 2017-- Part 2
Randy Voller said that when the original courthouse burned down in 2010, that he heard from the community that there were those who said they wished the statue had burned down as well, particularly in the black community. He suggested that a resolution be sent to the Chatham County Board of Commissioners requesting that a more suitable place be found for the statue and replace it with something more unifying.
"I will defend all citizens' rights to free expression, thought and access to free assembly,: Voller said. "However when we are considering the iconography and monumentation that appear prominently in our public square representing in some way, shape or form the dreams and aspirations of the community we can and should take the time to reflect whether such monuments represent the community at-large and whether it is time to consider a change."
Monumentation?
Wonder what Mr. Voller is running for?
