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.
