Civil War II: North Carolina, New Orleans, Stone Mountain, Sad Richmond and Mississippi

AUGUST 21, 2020


**  Public can weigh in on Confederate monument.  (Monroe, Union County, North Carolina)

**  New Orleans street honoring Confederate icon renamed for HBCU president.  (Jefferson Davis Parkway will become the the Norman C. Francis Parkway in January.   The city council will also be looking at renaming other streets named after Confederates.)

**  More 'Black Lives Matter'  signs than Confederate flags in the new Stone Mountain, Ga.  (From the Washington Post.  They have to be celebrating this, even though BLM signs mean "We're going to riot and loot at anytime.")

**  Gray calls for probe of mayor's use of $1.8 million to remove Confederate statues.  (Sad Richmond.  Did the mayor's buddy make an illegal profit on this?

**  Mississippi, last state with Confederate  symbol on its flag, has new designs for citizens' vote.  (I still wonder why the people almost always do not get the chance to vote on Confederate statue removal?  Of course, there is now talk of other states with Confederate symbols in their flags.  Go to my RoadDog's RoadLog blog for pictures of states with "Confederate" flags.)

**  Hearing next month for Alabama lawmaker accused of theft.  (He is under heavy attack for attending a Nathan Forrest birthday party and speaking at it.)
