Where Have All the Statues Gone?, Mobile's Fine, Renaming US Ships and the USNA

JUNE 17, 2020

**  Mobile to pay fine, move Confederate statue permanently.  ($25,000.  Alabama has a Confederate statue protective law.  However, now i would like to see that law dropped in cases of "public safety."  In short, it is tearing me apart seeing what those "people" are doing with impunity to those monuments.  They all need to be removed to places of safe-keeping, at least until such time as those committing the hate crimes against are held accountable and punished.  And we all know that is not going to happen.)

**  Where have statues of Confederates, and other historical  figures been removed?  (Real good question.  New Orleans still have their statues "sequestered" somewhere, probably never seeing the light of day again.  What about the others?)  Good article that gives an update on the situation with various statues.

**  Will two U.S. naval vessels need to be renamed?   (USS Chancellorsville  (CG-62) and USNS Maury (T-AGS-66))

**  As naval academy superintendent condemns racism, a mid's (midshipman) tweets presents a problem.     The academy has already removed a plaque outside Maury Hall depicting a Confederate flag and I'm sure they are in the process of renaming it.)
