Are these UDC members the white supremacists who put up all those racist monuments BLM has warned us about? How about those Confederate veterans above them? Some mighty desperate and despicable folks if you ask me.

The State of Confederate Statues in North Carolina-- Part 2


Here is a list of removed Confederate statues in North Carolina, compliments of the Southern Poverty Law Center:

**  ANSON COUNTY (1):  Statue stood in front of the Wadesboro Courthouse.  Removed July 8 and expected to go to private property.

**  ASHEVILLE AND BUNCOMBE COUNTY  (2):  Removed two statues, the second one on July  24.  They are looking to remove a third statue.  These two places will also have to change their names because they are named after slave owners.

**  CHARLOTTE 1:   A Confederate reunion marker came down after a June 21 order for removal near  Grady Cole Center.

**  DURHAM (1):  The base was carted away August 14, three years after "protesters" toppled the statue after Charlottesville.

**  FAYETTEVILLE (1):  A statue started to be removed June  27.  It reportedly had private owners and would go into storage.

**  LOUISBURG  (1):  June 30, the town started to dismantle a Confederate statue to be placed in a cemetery.
