Come On SPLC, Get the Demonstration List Going. Florida, Missouri and Gettysburg

AUGUST 12, 2020


**  Sarasota artist seeks  repeal of Confederate honors.  (Florida.  Against laws honoring anything Confederate.  Not art.  You've got to listen to those artists as they really know what they're talking about.)

**  Historic preservation agency recommends not removing Confederate  marker.  (Missouri.  Wow!  How'd that happen.)

**  Report:  59 Confederate  symbols removed since George Floyd's death.  (An updated report from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) who has a very complete list of all Confederate items that need to be removed, a "hit list" as it were.  However, I see that they have not yet compiled a list of demonstrations that have taken place since George Floyd's murder.  In addition, they need to show the ones that ended up in riots, looting and burnings and I would also like to see losses in stores.  Come on SPLC, you can do it!)

**  Also, 16 schools and parks have been renamed.  Mississippi retired its state flag and a town in South Dakota removed the Confederate flag from its police shield.

**  New panels will share how and why Gettysburg's Confederate monuments were erected.  Always interesting story as to how any monuments get erected.  Good idea as long as they don't start citing people's opinions and stick to the facts.)

Come On SPLC.  Get on the Listing Job!!!  We Need to Know!!  --Old Secesh
