**  Which Confederate  statues are gone in the DMV -- and which remain?  (Washington Post.  This newspaper is so full of hatred for anything Confederate.)

At least they weren't renaming all after Blacks.

**  Gwinnett officials vote to remove  Confederate statues from city square.  (Georgia.  I always hate to see politicians voting on this instead of the people.  So often, the politicians in the South are speaking for minorities when they do this, not the majority of the people.
