As cities from New Orleans to Baltimore tear down statues of Confederate generals, a new Confederate monument is slated to be unveiled later this month in Alabama.
The memorial to "unknown Confederate soldiers" is being erected next to an RV Park about 50 miles south of Montgomery in an unincorporated area of Crenshaw County, according to Jimmy Hill, commander of the Alabama division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
"The public's invited. Anyone who wants to can come to celebrate the unveiling of another monument to Confederate soldiers," Hill told AL.com.
The monument will be unveiled at 2 p.m. Aug. 27 during a public ceremony at a Confederate memorial park located next to Dry Creek RV Park at 6403 Brantley Highway - also known as Highway 331 - about three miles north of Brantley.
Dedicated in May 2015 (see video of the dedication ceremony below), the memorial park is open to the public though it is located on private land owned by Luverne resident David Coggins, a Sons of Confederate Veterans member who also operates the RV park. Coggins did not respond to requests for comment.
It might go differently this time.
Take a note from the MLK monument. Make it out of a single block of about 30 tons of granite.
Soros..LOOK !!
Call out the national guard now. They will need time to run concertina wire.
In trying to get MLK added to the list of unacceptables because he told a homosexual to go see a psychiatrist.
Hamilton owned slaves so they need to shut down the musical named for him.
Lincoln had some racist quotes.
FDR didn’t integrate the army and locked up Japanese Americans. Take him off the dime.
Won’t be much left standing when the Thought Police are unleashed.
Does the Sons of Confederate Veterans take donations? Might be a good idea to show them how middle America feels about it.
Oh, there will be some things left standing. Nothing you and I want to see but they will be standing and they will stand tall. There will be monuments to the brave Antifa and BLM foot soldiers that were willing to risk life and limb to bring down the evil racist Nazi conservatives that had the audacity to think they could win any struggle against folks willing to take bats into the streets from their Barcaloungers and with those puny keyboards.
Hold off on that for a while - wait until all the protesters arrive and then fence them in with it.
They’ll be much easier to deal with once they are properly rounded up.
Take down the “Rocky” statue in Philadelphia because he beat up a black guy.
LOL, good one!
It’s a joke, but I won’t be shocked if it happens.
And we fought terrible wars against the Germans, Japanese and Italians . . . so why are we doing business with them?
And a million plus people have died from AIDS, so why is Harvey Milk “honored”?
Shouldn’t Stonewall Inn et al be torn down also?
We fought for independence against England . . .and fought Mexico too
The Indians?
And what about Monticello and U Virginia? Shouldn’t they go too?
LOL Soros bring your rent a mob to Alabama, you will learn something my friend...
If it’s on private property then there isn’t a lot the government can do.
Maybe the patriots will also be wielding baseball bats.
It would be entertaining to see. Better than the movie Gladiator. 😁
Then what?
That land needs to be leased to a private group for $1 a year for the next 99 years
