History of Confederate Statues and Why They Divide Us. Fort Moore? Sad R.'s Pesky Pedestals, Another Hate Crime and Loudon Co.'s Sign Problem

 JULY 5, 2021

**  BEW POV doc explores the history of Confederate statues -- and why they divide us.

**  Why the Confederacy failed to recreate the American Revolution.

**  Family of Bardstown  Army leader seeks to rename Fort Benning after parents.  (Bardstown, Kentucky.  For their father, Lt. General Hal Moore, a Vietnam hero.  At least he is not a black person.  I worry that ALL bases will be named for Blacks.)

**  Monuments, pedestals  on the agenda of Richmond's Planning Commission on Tuesday.  (Virginia.  Guess what sad R. will determine here.)

**  Jackson statue vandalized. (Charlottesville, Virginia.  Again, this is not vandalism, it is a hate crime.  Treat it as such.  If a white person did that to a black person's statue, it sure would be called a hate crime.  Level the field.)

**  Loudon County weighs what to do with roads named for Confederates, segregationists.  (Virginia.  Figuring this is in Virginia, what do you think they will do?)

**  Loudon's segregationist symbols inventory finds 16 roads, Mosby Heritage Area.  (Virginia)
