About the Stuart Monument. Twelve Down, 199 More to Go.

**  Marching home:  Confederate monument foe works with Stuart descendant to send statue to general's birthplace.  (Sad Richmond, Va.  Sad Richmond City Councilman Michael Jones, a black minister, is throwing his support to James E. B. Stuart of Richmond, the general's great-great grandson, in his attempt to move it to Patrick Co., Va.

The statue is covered in red paint and at one time even had a noose placed around its neck.  I thought BLMers didn't like nooses.  Oh well.  Here's hoping the statue gets moved to Patrick County.  Here's hoping that BLM doesn't go after it there.)

**  Despite Confederate monument  removals, debate over  effigies in Georgia still red-hot.   (Of the original 211 monuments in the state,  a dozen have been removed.  Contains a map showing where statues still stand and where they have been removed.  The article starts with the words "Georgia has exorcised some of its ghosts in recent years...."  How do you think the writer stands?)

**  Opinion:  Flags everywhere, always  (Asheville Citizen-Times.  Where do you think Sad Asheville stands.)

**  Sarasota artist wants repeal of Confederate honors.  (Florida.  Lists Florida laws that are pro-Confederate.  Imagine an artist that would be for the Confederacy?  Are there any?)
