The group Save Southern Heritage (SSH) claimed responsibility for the message in a news release and Mayor Lenny Curry quickly condemned the message.
“This is a Thanksgiving gift to the people of these cities who are suffering under these cancel culture tyrants,” said Kirk Lyons, SSH spokesman.“As I’ve said before, there is no place for hate of any kind in our City. My position on monuments remains clear, I have allocated money for removal and empowered city council to take action,” Curry tweeted.that asked Curry and the city to propose a plan that would budget $500,000 to remove remaining Confederate monuments in Jacksonville.
“In Jacksonville, Mayor Lenny Curry, in the middle of the night on June 9, 2020, desecrated the historic Hemming Plaza Cenotaph by removing the elements of the memorial in knee jerk cancel culture reaction to the George Floyd death,” SSH said.
