Having a confederate memorial on public property is offensive to many residents of our multi-racial community whether they are aware of its existence or not. A town named Liberty should not have a monument that memorializes people that brutally removed that right from people of color. It sits in a graveyard but it is not a grave just an intimidating reminder of Clay County's confederate past that should no longer be publicly promoted. This petition will hopefully encourage our Mayor and city council to take action and remove this memorial that is placed prominently in the Fairview Cemetery, downtown Liberty Missouri.
