Richmond panel urges removal of 1 Confederate monument

[hvilleherb]

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A commission studying what to do with the most prominent Confederate monuments in Richmond, Virginia, recommended Monday removing one honoring Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
The panel of historians, local officials and others that spent around a year studying and soliciting public input about the statues on the city's historic Monument Avenue also urged the addition of permanent signage with historical context near the monuments.

Further, it said leaders should consider adding new monuments that would reflect a "more inclusive" story of the city's history, the commission said in a more than 100-page report.

"In the course of the work, it became abundantly clear the majority of the public acknowledges Monument Avenue cannot and should not remain exactly as it is. Change is needed and desired," the report said.

They are statues, not history. The south tried to destroy the union over slavery. Think we need statues of the KKK? They were part of our history. Think Timothy McVeigh should have a monument?

That's not what those percentages mean. I wouldn't expect an idiot like you to understand.

39% of those on welfare are black and 38.8% of those on welfare are white.
