We, the undersigned, are calling for the removal of the Confederate soldier Memorial Statue that is in the middle of the Square in Downtown Bentonville.  The statue fosters division in our community, instead of promoting unity, diversity, and inclusiveness among residents and visitors to our great city of Bentonville, our State of Arkansas, and the United States of America.  

It should be moved to a more appropriate location for historic relics, such as a museum, or the Pea Ridge National Military Park.
