You Want That Statue Removed. Pay for It Yourself. Memphis, Mouton, Louisiana, Charlottesville, Capitol and Ozarks

JULY 17, 2021

**  Black Memphis clergy back efforts to remove Confederate marker in Collierville town square. (Tennessee.  Imagine Blacks doing something like that.  I know, real hard to believe.  That is not racist a bit I imagine.)

**  Mouton statue to be moved as Confederate group backs down from legal battle.  (Louisiana)

**  Public reacts to removal plans of downtown Lafayette's  Confederate statue.  (Louisiana.  The Mouton statue again.  The UDC will move it after town pays $25,000.  At least that's fair as long as the move is no more than $25,000.  If it is more, then the town should pay more.  However, even a better idea is to have those who want it moved pay for it themselves, not the city.  Hey folks, put your money where your mouths are.)

**  Charlottesville extends deadline  for hose interested in the Confederate statues.  (Virginia.  As long as the city pays all expenses involved, or, even better, those who want them moved pay for it.)

**  Senate Democrats introduce House-passed bill removing Confederate statues from U.S. Capitol.  (Wow, Democrats doing something like that?  Of course, the way all the headlines about this up until now screamed, I thought this was already a done-deal.)

**  A giant Confederate flag went up in the Ozarks.  One woman answered with this billboard.  (Missouri)
