** What to do about Stone Mountain? Black residents talk park's racist past. (Georgia)

** St. Landry Parish Confederate monument could be removed for free, or at least low cost. (Louisiana. I hate to see these contractors making so much money removing Confederate monuments, so this would be a good one. But, I still say that all costs for removal, storage and relocation should be paid by those who want them removed. No public money should be used.)
** Why historians think Cinco de Mayo prevented the Confederacy's win in the Civil War. (Hey, a real Civil War piece here.)
** Black Tennessee mayor declared April Confederate History Month. (Livingston, Tennessee mayor Curtis Hayes. Think I'll move there and vote for him. Finally a black politician who is not racist.)
** Ruining Confederate Memorial Day: A Report back from Stone Mountain. (From It's Going Down. This is the black racist account of what took place at Sone Mountain. Clearly shows the goals of the other side.)

** Contract signed for Confederate monument removal. (Caddo Parish, Louisiana. $782,000 for removal and relocation to Pleasant Hill Battlefield. Let's hope that those who want it gone are paying for this. Put your money where your mouth is. This shouldn't be paid by public funds.)
** Assault charge dismissed for Confederacy supporter who talked about beating up Tami Sawyer. (That supporter was way out of line and his tirade just proved her right.)
** Permit OK'd for Confederate Memorial Day at Stone Mountain Park. (Georgia)

** Unanimous vote: Richmond Confederate monuments going to black history museum. (Another reason to boycott Sad R. I can't imagine a worse place for our heritage to go. There will be no respect there, no matter what the good old Post has to say.)
** Simone Leigh statue of African deity installed at site of former Confederate monument in New Orleans. (And tell me, what does this have to do with me. I worship no African deities. Simone Leigh is a black artist.))
** Opinion: How many Marylanders fought for the rebels was overstated. (Again, consider the source, the Washington Post.)
** Stone Mountain leaders grappling with business losses at the park's resort hotel. (Georgia. It's that Confederate thing, you know. And, of course, that virus thing.)
