Virginia, Clemson, Anderson, S.C., Wikipedia and How Many Confederate Monuments Are There

June 6, 2020

**  Virginia mayor resigns after requesting Confederate monuments.  Interesting story.

**  New petitions target Clemson's Tillman Hall, Anderson monument and more.  (City of Anderson, S.C.  Ben Tillman was S.C. governor and so-called white supremacist and founding trustee of Clemson University.

A white student was photographed in front of the hall with graffiti of racial slurs and KKK.  That student has been removed from the school.  And, rightfully so.  But, I have to ask why students at all universities who "vandalize" monuments on campus are also not removed from schools as well?

**  Virginia governor discusses his decision to remove Confederate monument.

**  Monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests.  Wikipedia. List of 35 monuments and memorial either removed or with plans for their removal.  Also three outside the U.S.  And, another list of seven symbols and insignia, two buildings and three names and nomenclature.  Well worth checking this list out.

See List of monuments and memorials removed during George Floyd protests in Wikipedia.

**  How many Confederate monuments exist in the U.S.?   If you want to know, check out the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) which has an extensive and accurate list of them so that "protesters" will know what to go after.
