Virginia Again, That Cemetery Again, Silent Sam Again

February 25, 2020

**  Virginia lawmakers pass bill to swap holiday honoring Confederate generals for Election Day.

**  Arkansas cemetery allows Confederate flags despite protests.  (Eureka Springs--  It is up to person's family to okay flags.)

**  Why Silent Sam should stand again at UNC.  (Opinion.  Applauds the judge striking down the SCV deal, but wants statue returned to where it stood for over a hundred years.  I'd like to see it go back, but, the amount of money that would have to be spent to stop hate crimes on it would be too much, especially since the UNC students and their faculty supporters know that nothing will happen to them if they are caught.)

**  Chapel Hill mayor and council ask Guskiewicz to keep Silent Sam out of Chapel Hill.  (Part of this is due to student safety issues.  It would be horrible if the statue fell on any of the UNC students while they were in the process of committing a hate crime.)
