**  Confederate statues don't preserve history; they distort it.  Dan Patrick should stop defending them.  (Texas)

**  Protesters and counter-protesters  argue over Confederate, black slave boy statue in Allendale.  (Michigan)

**  One activist working for change in Jackson.  (Mississippi)

**  GOP lawmaker's  celebration of KKK leader forces  racial reckoning in Alabama.

**  UF has Confederate statue removed from St. Augustine before dawn.  (That UF would be the University of Florida.  Again, why do so many Confederate statues get removed at night?  Are they ashamed to be doing what they are doing?

But, upon further reading, this was done at the request of the general's descendants.  Confederate General William Loring is also buried under the monument and will be disinterred and moved as well. I will be writing about the general in my Saw the Elephant: Civil War blog.)
