Thank you, @sipcville and @JSAAHC for your leadership of the Swords Into Plowshares project. The community of Charlottesville has gone through so much. Now that the Lee statue has been melted, we look forward to new public art! (Free gift article.)

The Fort Branch Historical Society in North Carolina recently announced a large tree fell on its museum last month, completely destroying it

Here’s before and after photos of the museum, which aims to “protect the ‘lifeline’ of the confederacy”

Drumpf regime is permission structure for eliminating even the smallest signals for inclusion.

This is the head of a statue of Hafez Al-Assad. The person who massacred their families in the 80s, the former dictator and the father of the current dictator. Syrians will never stop fighting until freedom is achieved. This is #Hama

Stoking resentment over removing statues to rally white nationalists

[just matt @questionableway]

the daughters of the confederacy is, bar none, just about the most evil organization in this country. getting a plaque placed outside john brown’s memorial condemning him is simply foul

Glad to see the Christopher Columbus statue that was torn down in Byrd Park by protestors has been cleaned up and found a new home.

Good work by the Virginia Knights of Columbus @KofC to protect this historical statue.

Wonderful for a likeness of Johnny Cash (replacing a statue of an old Confederate) to represent Arkansas the U.S. Capitol Building. Art and music can be inclusive! https://t.co/8jjl8zApe8

Why don't we have more statues of abolitionists?

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

the group is proposing a new memorial to enslaved people - the "slave auction block" marker has been gone for a while now & the group wants to see a larger memorial placed within court square park itself, replacing the now-removed stonewall jackson statue

“Last year, the City of Richmond spent over $16,000 to enhance a 90-year-old Confederate marker, citing a resident’s desire to honor their ancestor.” https://t.co/24fSQFeaSD

July 10, 2021: 3 yrs ago today, after years of community organizing, public history engagement, and political activism, the City of Charlottesville took down three giant statues placed in the center of the city during the height of Jim Crow and racial apartheid…

No! It’s the Arlington Confederate Monument not one to Reconciliation. That’s a recent term. It’s a pro slavery, pro treason monstrosity. Those who put it up remarked on “Kindly relations between slave and master” & “astonishing fidelity of slaves.”
