**  Removing Confederate statues remains a monumental challenge.  (Good play on words.)

**  Confederate flag absent from Olmsted  County Living History Fair.

**  Virginia county votes to rename Lee Highway for abolitionist.  (Now Langston Highway, after a black man.  Why do all renamed Confederate things have to be for Blacks?)

**  Damaged Confederate statue monument deemed dangerous; City of Tuskegee urges action.  (Alabama.  Remember, the damage (which is nothing short of a hate crime) was done by an elected city official and there have been no charges against him yet.  Unbelievable.  Imagine if someone had done that to a MLK statue!)

The Continuing War on the Confederacy: UDC, Texas, Confederate Holiday, Streets, Louisiana and Abolitionists

I do this blog to show that the attacks on the Confederacy are still continuing all over the place.  They are not reported in the news media for the most part except locally.  Believe me, this unwinnable fight is still going on even with the virus and winter

**  Rename Baton Rouge's Confederate streets?  Commission says  educating on racism more important.  (Louisiana)

**  Opinion/Chaput:  A riotous insult to a famed abolitionist.  (Referring to the picture of "Confederate Flag Guy" at the Jan. 6 US Capitol riot. Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner.  Of course, it is my belief that the abolitionist played a huge role in the coming of the Civil War.)

Is This Why the Democrats Don't Want the Public Voting on Removal of Confederate Statues? Is This What Is Happening in the U.S.?

JULY 26, 2020


**   Texas Republicans divided in House vote to remove  Confederate statues from US Capitol.  (From the Texan.  Explains how the state statues come to be in the US Capitol Building.

**  From the above article.  Polls.  Should Confederate monuments be removed from public spaces?

A June Quinnipiac poll:    Yes:  52%  No:  44%
A June Harvard poll:   Yes:  42%   No:  58%
A July UT-Tyler poll:  Yes:  38%   No:  43%

No wonder Democrats don't want the issue put to public.  They might lose.

"Congress is acting in a manner divergent from the mob-style justice being countenanced in various cities across the country."

"After nearly two months of civic unrest and riots over the killing of George Floyd the U.S. House voted to remove statues of Confederate figures from the U.S. Capitol grounds."  (So happy to find anyone in the media saying that we are having riots over this.  Usually it is described as a demonstration.)

"Across the nation, a growing movement of iconoclasm mixed with street justice has led to numerous statues being defaced  or even outright destroyed."

"While many have focused on effigies of Confederate figures, others gave targeted  the likeness of  abolitionists  Matthias Baldwin and Hans Christian Heg, and even former president Thomas Jefferson."
