kropotkindersurprise: August 14 2017 - Protesters in Durham, North Carolina decide to take matters into their own hands and take down a confederate statue. The statue represented a soldier who fought in the Civil War and an inscription on the front read “The Confederate States of America.” One organizer of the protest told WNCN that toppling the statue was in response to the violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. this weekend.“It needs to be removed,” organizer Loan Tran told the news station. “These Confederate statues in Durham, in North Carolina, all across the country.” [video] -- source link
