Cemeteries Become BLM Targets, Even Brazil

JULY 12, 2020


**  As a Black woman  from the South, removal of Confederate symbols important to me.  (CNN)

**  Hundreds demanding removal  of Confederate statue in Graham met by counterprotesters.  (North Carolina)

**  Southern Democrats' split with Republicans over Confederate symbols is more recent than you think.

**  Courthouse's Confederate statue enters Giles County drug case.  (Pearisburg, Virginia.  A black defendant believes he can't get a fair trial with the statue outside the courthouse.  (Where will it end?)

**  Letter:  Confederate monuments:  The fake news of the time.

**  They lost the Civil War and fled to Brazil.  Their descendants refuse to take down the Confederate flag.  (Washington Post)

**  Sylvia approves resolution to ban Confederate imagery from town property.  (North Carolina.  Such a huge surprise.  What will Sylvia's mother say??)

**  Statue at Confederate graves vandalized  at Savannah cemetery.    Placed at Laurel Grove Cemetery in 1879.  Statue of a woman named "Silence."  Spray-painted and broke the statue's hand.   The mayor, a black man, vows to find the people who did this and prosecute them.  Too bad he can't be the mayor of Richmond, Va.  Again, this is not vandalism.  It is a hate crime.)

**  Cemetery vandals hit Confederate markers.  (Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Spray-painted and broke it enough that it can't be repaired.  Lots and lots of obscenities.)

Like I Said, Cemeteries Are Next On the BLM Hit List.  --Old Secesh
