Alabama Bill Aims To Save Confederate Monuments From Being Torn Down
Grant Suneson

Excerpts from:
New Orleans recently?removed several monuments?to the Confederacy. Now, Alabama lawmakers are taking steps to prevent that from happening in their state.
The?Alabama Memorial Preservation Act?would "prohibit the relocation, removal, alteration, renaming, or other disturbance of monuments located on public property which have been in place for 20 or more years."
Monuments to Confederate figures have become an increasingly touchy topic in the South. In New Orleans, pro-Confederate activists, led by white nationalist Richard Spencer, argued government officials were trying to erase history.
If the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act becomes law, anyone wanting to change or remove a monument would need the permission of a special committee.
The bill?passed both houses?of the Alabama Legislature and will now head to the governor's desk.

Sometimes Alabama really does shine.
PC is not on the test of time.
That war was fought among Patriots. Whatever side they were one, they believed in their cause.
QUIT trying to rewrite our history.
It wasn't
about slaves, but states rights
