Costs of Removing Statues. Still Spending Money in Alabama. Renaming, Jacksonville and Mississippi

OCTOBER 4, 2021

**  Removing Confederate statue from Springfield Park could cost at least $1.2 million.  (Jacksonville, Florida.  Again, way too much.  Who's looking to get rich?  And, as I have said before, those who want the statue gone should pay for it THEMSELVES.)

**  Alabama spends more than  a half-million dollars a year on a Confederate memorial.  Black historical sites struggle to keep doors open.

OCTOBER 5, 2021

**  Heated exchanges and a flood of  suggestions for Confederate  renaming commission.  (Again, let's not just rename ALL of the bases after Blacks.)

**  Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry favors removing Confederate statue.  (Florida)

**  Confederate flag raised, US and German flags stolen at 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Germany.

**  Debate continues on  Confederate monument's future.  (Gulfport, Mississippi)
