So I have a question to the citizens and public servants of Brownsville after Charlottesville, where enthusiasts of this shameful chapter of our history gathered to defend these monuments they claim are unrelated to white supremacy, and where they also gathered to proclaim white supremacy: Do you care now? Or are we still going to impose on voters a shrine to a man who explicitly declared their inferiority until his death? It’s not just a rock, as some claim. It’s an officially sanctioned symbol that alienates citizens.

If they are not aware of these facts, then it’s a covert indignity, but no less an indignity. CONTINUE READING http://netargv.com/home/2017/08/25/take-confederate-monument-brownsville/
