A federal lawsuit is seeking the removal of a Confederate monument marked as “in appreciation of our faithful slaves” from outside of a North Carolina county courthouse
A federal lawsuit filed Tuesday seeks the removal of a Confederate monument marked as “in appreciation of our faithful slaves” from outside of a North Carolina county courthouse. The Concerned Citizens of Tyrrell County, a civic group focused on issues facing local Black residents, and several of its members filed the lawsuit against the county's commissioners.
The Associated Press contacted the Tyrrell County manager via email requesting a comment on the lawsuit. North Carolina legislators enacted a law in 2015 that limits when an “object of remembrance” such as a military monument can be relocated. Still, the lawsuit says more than a dozen Confederate monuments have been taken down in North Carolina in the past five years, many due to votes by local officials. Others were removed by force.
