The Confederacy Under Attack: Birmingham, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tampa Salisbury

June 1, 2020

I will try to get caught up on the Second Civil War since the beginning of June.  These attacks on the Confederacy and Confederate statues in particular  have gone into overdrive since the George Floyd tragedy.

You can bring up most of these by just typing in what I typed.

**  Birmingham mayor orders removal of Confederate monument  in public park.

**  Confederate monuments haunt American democracy.

**  Chancellor commits to Confederate statue relocation.  (University of Mississippi)

**  Now is the time to end Confederate holiday, Alabama Congresswoman says as protests rock the state.  (She is a black woman.)

**  Confederate monument in Bentonville square to be moved.  (Arkansas)

**  Protesters tear down statue, damage Confederate  monument in Alabama.  (They were rioters and in the process of committing a hate crime.  This was the statue in Birmingham.)

**  Group takes down huge Confederate flag in Tampa.  (The local SCV flies it and they also took it down.  This was after word of a possible protest to be held at the site to take the flag down.)

**  The latest:  Birmingham begins removing Confederate monument.

**  Shots fired, two arrested following argument with Confederate group at BLM protest in Salisbury.  North Carolina    (Sadly, the shots were fired into the air by a member of the Confederate group  We do not need this sort of counter protest.  Hopefully he will be charged and tried.)
