Someone pointed out that many of these statutes and monuments went up in the early part of the 20th century.

To show that 50 years after a Civil War, that we are all AMERICANS after all.

End of story.

Wait until the day comes when someone gets tired of the hoopla over MLK.

We’ll see how happy the sanitization crew is then.
