Stop Renaming and Building New Statues Where Confederate Ones Were Removed. An Acceptable Alternative.

 SEPTEMBER 15, 2020

**  Signs honoring Harriet Tubman installed at Wyman Park Dell, where Confederate statues once stood.  (Baltimore, Maryland.  Go ahead, pour salt into the wounds.  Baltimore removed four Confederate statues under cover of the night awhile back.)

**  Bell County Confederate statue to stay after commissioners vote 4-1.  (Texas.  How did this happen?  bet BLM is not happy.)

**  Williamson County approves recommendation to remove Confederate flag from county seal.  (Tennessee)

**  Group pitches big changes to Stone Mountain Park's Confederate imagery.  (Georgia.  Activist group wants it removed or contextualized.)

**  Plans for James H. Berry Park, new home of Bentonville Confederate statue, unveiled.  (Arkansas.  The statue was recently removed from downtown and will now be located there.    An acceptable alternative in this situation.  Hopefully one that will be copied by others when their Confederate statues are removed.)

**  I still say, however, that all costs for removal of statues should be paid by those who want the statues removed.  Hey, guys, put your money where your mouths are.
