Let the People Vote on Whether to Keep Confederate Statues and Base Names

JUNE 18, 2020

**  Barriers placed around Robert E. Lee statue as activists target Confederate monuments.  (Richmond, Va.  This came after another Confederate monument was torn down in Richmond.  What activists?  These are people getting ready to commit a hate crime.  And, those concrete barriers just provided new places to write obscenities as the "activists" had run out of places on the Lee statue pedestal.)

**  Calls continue for Franklin County leaders to remove Confederate monument from courthouse.  (Rocky Mount, Va.)

**  Almost half of voters favor keeping Confederate names for military bases.  (Personally, I would like to have every Confederate monument removal as well put to a vote by the people.  We can not get a fair shake from governmental bodies whose members either are Black or who are afraid to stand up to the Blacks.  Same goes for our justice system.)

**  A descendant of slaves  explains why it is indefensible to keep Confederate  names on public schools.  She taught in one.)

**  Virginia protesters topple another Confederate statue.   ("Protesters!"  These people aren't protesting.  They are rioting and committing hate crimes.)

**  Conversation about Confederate memorial in Shelby.

**  Clarke County residents want Confederate monument removed from courthouse grounds.

**  Opposing views on Columbia's Confederate monument.

**  Protesters demonstrate outside Mayor Stoney's apartment, pull down Confederate monument at VCU.  (What "protesters?"  They are criminals committing hate crimes.  Stoney is Richmond's Democratic mayor who is leading the destruction of the city's Confederate monuments.  Are his people turning on him?)
