It won't end until everything is torn down - 08/02/20 04:00 PM
As many of you know monuments are coming down. You may have seen my recent posts about the Confederate memorial in a neighboring county coming down. And I haven't listed all the ugliness either.
Well it's been gone less than a week and already there's serious talk of taking down the statue of the county's namesake, Patrick Henry. Which is funny considering when the initial BOC vote was taken to remove the Confederate monument the Patrick Henry statue was mentioned and two members, who voted for removal, had no idea who Patrick Henry was or why Henry county had a statue of him in front of the courthouse. And get this one of the two was a high school teacher before becoming a commissioner!
