Undercover of the Night in Athens. Now, All This Has Gone to the Birds.

AUGUST 12, 2020


**  Georgia city dismantling  Confederate monument from 1872.  (Athens)

**  Downtown Athens Confederate monument removed  overnight.  (Athens, Georgia.  For almost 150 years, some folks didn't realize they were offended.  Go figure.  Quite a few Confederate monuments after removed undercover of the night.  Wonder what that's all about.)

**  Newport News will remove its Confederate monument from its location on Denbigh.  (Virginia)

**  In reversal, ornithologists yank Confederate general's name  from bird.  (McCown's longspur.  It will now be named the thick-billed longspur.  At least it wasn't just given the name of a black person because that seems to be the thing to do.)

**  Williamson citizens speak for the Confederate flag on the county seal.  (Tennessee)

**  Confederate statue in Parksley sold for $1, but sale then voided.   (Virginia.  Was to be sold to SCV.)
