The State of Confederate Statues in North Carolina-- Part 4

McClatchy News additional Confederate monuments taken down:

**  GREENSBORO (1):  A Confederate monument at a city-owned cemetery was "toppled" during the Fourth of July weekend.

**  WINSTON-SALEM (1):  The city removed a Confederate statue downtown March 12 citing public safety concerns because of protests for and against it at the site the preceding months.

**  CLINTON (1):  A statue outside of the Sampson County Courthouse was removed July 12 just hours after being "toppled."  "Toppled" means a hate crime was committed against it.

**  GRANVILLE COUNTY (1):  A Confederate statue was removed  June 24 after a "credible threat was made to remove it."

**  ROCKY MOUNT (1):  The city started to remove the Battle Park Confederate statue on June 29, the same day an apparent noose was found on a nearby tree.

**  VANCE COUNTY (1):  A Confederate statue was removed  from outside a county office building in July  and taken to an undisclosed site.

**  WILMINGTON (2):  On June 25, the city announced that two Confederate statues had been removed undercover of the night.

All so sad.  But,if removal and safekeeping will keep the BLMers and their white minions from doing their hateful stuff to them, I support that.
