Cordele, GA: Remove the Confederate monument from the Community Clubhouse


Cordele, GA: Remove the Confederate monument from the Community Clubhouse
The Issue
It is far past time to remove the confederate monument in front of the Cordele Community Clubhouse. It is unfair to Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved and killed by racist confederates to be looked down upon by a statue glorifying slavery and treason against the United States. There cannot be a sense of "community" at our Community Clubhouse with a racist looking down upon Americans having family reunions, wedding receptions, funerals, etc. It has no significance in our community and should be removed expeditiously. It is strictly a participation trophy for the dead confederacy. Removing the monument can allow members of our community to gather in peace without being reminded of the white supremacy of the confederacy.
