Who's Getting All Those Statues That Are Being Taken Down?
AUGUST 2, 2020
** 'This is not just about symbols': America's reckoning over Confederate monuments. (A long list of Confederate items that are no more. Kind of a sad list for me.)
** Letter: Don't call it treason.
** Meet the people who are buying America's rejected statues. (Towns that are actively seeking removed statues and not just Confederate ones. An interesting read.)
** Renaming military bases doesn't dishonor veterans who trained there.

** Confederate monuments: Jefferson Davis, CSA president who didn't want to secede but wanted to keep slavery.
** Confederate signage to be re-installed at Hanover schools. (Virginia. Kind of a surprise considering that state. Signage at two schools removed weeks ago, but will be put back up temporarily while details on renaming process worked out. That sure has to yank somebody's chain.)
