I do not know who said it first, I saw an attribution to Robin Williams as he was driven down Monument Avenue in Richmond.
I intend to use this name from now on.
I have two thoughts: One is that the descendants of the specific person should have a say. Lee and Jackson families have stated that should be taken down.
The other is that they can all be removed and put up at civil war battlefields...where the south lost.
Just in case you do not have any familiarity with me, I am the great great granddaughter of a confederate soldier. I have accepted that, I am neither proud or ashamed, it just is history.
