Take Down Confederate Memorial in Walker County

This memorial does not represent the values of the American people and should be removed. It was erected in 1956 by The United Daughters of Confederacy whose main goal was to teach the next generation to stand for the same values as the Confederacy. This was during the Civil Rights Movement and the monument was made to terrorize Black Americans.The monument is not specific to our town and serves little educational or historical importance. We are not fighting to erase history, but we progressing towards a future that does not honor the people who committed such atrocious wrongs.
