Join us this Saturday at Washington Park! https://www.facebook.com/events/281298265697787/?ti=cl The news of our city commissioner using the "N" word made it to national news outlets. He resigned soon after the commissioner's meeting. He rescinded his resignation a few days later. He's still on the city commission and can decide the fate of the Confederate Monument. http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/local/de-leon-rescinds-letter-of-resignation/article_c90904e2-ad5f-11e7-b7f4-b32c8a76e064.html The Monument was defaced in September and the city of Brownsville cleaned it up. The local Neo-Confederate group is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who wrote the message on the boulder. These same SCV continue sharing racist memes on their personal social media pages. One of the leaders states that "The monument belongs to the citizens of Brownsville. They own it because it was given to them by the United Daughters of the Confederacy." Using his own words, we can decide to give it back. http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/local/city-crews-remove-offensive-words-from-davis-monument/article_423da18a-aef3-11e7-a265-3365523d7479.html The Brownsville Herald - Letters to the Editor http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/take-down-monuments/article_12a77f02-a5ef-11e7-81e6-539f8b46a925.html http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/de-leon-s-actions-understandable/article_178390a6-b2e2-11e7-bc9d-c383b0ccaa97.html http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/remove-monument/article_7ec8e140-b3a9-11e7-a68f-332e6243f8be.html
