** Southern attitudes toward Confederate monuments and reforming public spaces. (Findings from a national survey. Interesting numbers. Of interest, every state in the South and even across the nation has 50% and more wanting them left in place or have context added to them.)
Of course, it is my belief that the absolute best way to determine how people stand on statue removal would be to put it to a vote. I'd go along with the will of the majority of the people and also am fairly sure that, unless the people in a voting district are primarily Blacks, the vote will be to keep the statues. Look what has happened in Virginia when it has been put to a vote. Virginians have come a long way in my mind as to redeeming themselves, other than Sad R..

Hill's descendants don't get to decide what to do with it. The city does and we know how the former capital of the Confederacy stands on all things Confederate. Probably let some black group melt it down. I will continue with my boycott of that sad city.)
