South Carolina’s Supreme Court upheld a law that protects Confederate monuments and other statues, but said the need for a supermajority vote on any changes was an “unconstitutional overreach.”
Passed in 2000, the Heritage Act required a two-thirds vote in the state’s General Assembly for any change or removal of a monument, statue, school or street, or its renaming. It applied specifically to American wars spanning the Revolutionary War to the Persian Gulf War, and to Native American and African-American monuments or memorials.
Excellent news! If you don't want the history to repeat itself, stop whitewashing it!

I am a decedent of William Davis and likely Jefferson Davis. Those hate symbols need to be taken down or put them in Trump’s yard in Florida. My ancestors lost and they do not deserve to be honored.
