your rewriting of history
Once again: it is not "rewriting history". Nor is it "censorship"- you're starting to sould like Ake on the Boston Demo thread.
It is debunking a myth.
Then we can read the stories.
Plenty of other and more appropriate places to read the real story/ies other than on a monument to slavery & white supremacy.
We don't need these Confederate memorials to tell the true story; moreover thay make telling the real story more difficult.
And they're a poke in the eye with a sharp stick to every person of color who sees them, and an embarrassment to responsible, thinking white folks as well.
