SEPTEMBER 5, 2020
** Protests continue over Confederate monument in Gaston County. (North Carolina)
** Unnamed Confederate soldier statue to be moved from Albemarle County courthouse in Charlottesville. (Virginia)
** Virginia city renames burial site of Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson. (Lexington, Virginia. The city council voted unanimously to change the name of Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery to Oak Grove Cemetery. The article said he owned slaves and fought to defend the practice. Sadly, I looked at many sites but could not find pictures of the city council to see how many are black people. Their voting to change the name wouldn't be a racist thing, would it?)
** Sad R. (the city formerly the Confederate capital and still Virginia capital) has removed the most Confederate symbols in the country since the killing of George Floyd. Here's how it happened. (This article cited the racist group Southern Poverty Law Center's Confederate hit list. They still haven't made a new list of BLM "Peaceful protests" that became riots and looting, however. Strange that such a list-making organization couldn't come up with this kind of list.)
Nothing to Be Proud of Sad R. --Old Secesh
