Confederate Monument To Be Removed

 "The U.S. Army intends to remove a Confederate memorial from Arlington National Cemetery next week as part of its ongoing work to rid Defense Department property of divisive rebel imagery, defying dozens of congressional Republicans who have vociferously protested the move."

"Not only do inscriptions call the South’s soldiers “heroes,” but also accompanying imagery sanitizes slavery: Alongside bas-relief soldiers are figures of an enslaved Black woman protectively holding the infant child of a White rebel officer as he leaves for war and an enslaved man following his enslaver to the front.

(UPDATE: A Federal Judge has temporarily blocked the removal.)
