Another Failure, A Fitting Salute and the Monument Movement

These are headlines in the media.  Just in case a lack of articles in your local media leads you to believe that this is almost over.  It sure isn't.  You can look up the articles for more information.

**  Confederate's name may come off Fort Gordon; Augusta opinions vary.  (Georgia)

**  Opinion:  Another failure.  (An interesting opinion piece which blasts both sides.  Give it a read.)

**  Kenneth Cooper Alexander column:  A fitting salute  for a true patriotic hero.  (Sgt. William Harvey Carney, 54th Massachusetts.  African-American Civil War (and Spanish-American War) monument in Norfolk, Virginia. The Confederate monument in Norfolk has been removed after being "vandalized (hate crime).  I sure wish the media would stop referring to damage done to Confederate statues and memorials as being "vandalism."  It is nothing less than a hate crime and should be treated as such.)

**  Monument movement:  Local  historians say community, consensus key to deciding future of memorials.  (Talks about Confederate monuments removed and says it is important that both sides sit down and reach consensus before anything happens.  This does not happen, unfortunately.  Interesting views expressed.)
