Charlottesville Heats Up, A New Confederate Hate Group, Those Racist Monuments

December 31, 2019

**  Students lead protest over Confederate flag, dress code.  (North Carolina high school)

**  Sign marking Confederate history  is one of the latest  to disappear in NC, officials  say.  (Greensboro, N.C.)  This one is about the Confederate cabinet fleeing after Appomattox.  The other is about UNC-Greensboro.  More action by Confederate-haters?

**  Hudson launches campaign to support Confederate  monuments bill.    A newly elected state legislator (called Delegates in Va.) and she is a white person.  We always need to know what race people are who do these things.  (Charlottesville, Va.)

By the way, the Robert E. Lee statue there is shown in the news report and it sure looks like Mr. Wiley copied this statue.

**  Confederate flag license plate leads to firefighter's lawsuit against county.  (Montgomery County, Maryland)  Claims other firefighters harass him because he is black and a Muslim.

**  New coalition demands state cede control of Confederate monuments.  (Charlottesville, Va.)  Evidently this group calls itself Monumental Justice Virginia and one of the leaders is a former city councilman who is a Black.  Of interest, they note that there are 220 Confederate monuments in Virginia.

**  The escalating fight over racist monuments in the South.

**  Monumental Justice Virginia campaign rally held at Free Speech Wall in Charlottesville.  Mostly white people there.

**  Campus safety will be a key issue  for UNC leaders and students in 2020.  (Yes, we must insure that no student gets hurt when they are committing a hate crime and pulling down an offending Confederate monument.  Maybe they should also look into protecting innocent statues from hate-based attacks.)

So, Do We Have A New Hate Group?  --Old Secesh
