Are these UDC members the white supremacists who put up all those racist monuments BLM has warned us about? How about those Confederate veterans above them? Some mighty desperate and despicable folks if you ask me.

That Charlottesville Again, Even Lewis & Clark (and Sacagawea) Aren't Safe From 'Woke.' , Far-right vs. Far-left Forms of Protest at UNC

JULY 13, 2021

**  Confederate statues removed from Charlottesville.  (Virginia.  Such a huge surprise!)

**  Charlottesville removes Lewis  and Clark statue featuring Sacagawea along with Confederate statues.  (Virginia.  I tell you, It's a statue feeding frenzy in that college town.)

**  Far-right activists protest with Confederate flags at UNC's Unsung Founders Memorial.  )North Carolina.  And those who pulled down the Silent Sam statue must have been Far-left.)

**  The traveling sculpture challenges the story Confederate statues tell.

**  Pasquotank Confederate monument  will soon head to private property in Nixonton.  (North Carolina)

**  Charlottesville removes Confederate statues, Putnam County may keep theirs.  (Florida)

**  A state-by-state list  of racist Confederate monuments that have been removed so far.  (Mic.  I'd like to know what those statues did to be considered to be racist.  Plus, this group wants all Confederate statues replaced with ones of black heroes. )
