OCTOBER 13, 2020
** Virginia House Speaker faces fines over response to requests for Confederate statue removal documents. (Regarding late-night removal of them from the Old House chamber. How come so many times, the statues are removed late at night? Does this say something about the folks responsible for their removal? I know who else operates best at night.)
** Group raises $45K toward city's $1.8M Confederate monument removals. (Sad R. again. But, I agree that all costs for removal, storage and finding a new home for the statues should be borne by the people who want them removed. No public money should be involved.)
** Move the Mindset calls for quick reset after hearing on removing Confederate statue delayed again. (Lafayette, Louisiana. Alfred Mouton statue.)
** Murray woman concerned proposed House bill hides Civil War history. (Murray, Kentucky. Does not want Confederate items removed from National Parks.)
** Deadline nears for suggestions to rename Power Elementary. (Jackson, Mississippi. Named for Confederate Colonel John Logan Power. Again, I am all for renaming if the majority of the students are Blacks..)
Two other schools in Jackson named after Confederates have already been renamed for a black activist and one for former President Obama.
** March held for removal of Mouton statue, hearing delayed because of courthouse closing. (Lafayette, Louisiana. The courthouse is closed in the wake of Hurricane Delta.)
