Birmingham’s Monument to Maleficence Is Coming Down!
Posted by Warm Southern Breeze on Monday, June 1, 2020
Birmingham’s malignant Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Linn Park is coming down TONIGHT!
Today, June 1, 2020, Alabama State Attorney General Steve Marshall issued a press release which reiterated in whole that:
“The Alabama Monuments Preservation Act provides a singular avenue for enforcement — the filing of a civil complaint in pursuit of a fine, which the Alabama Supreme Court has determined to be a one-time assessment of $25,000. The Act authorizes no additional relief.
“Should the City of Birmingham proceed with the removal of the monument in question, based upon multiple conversations I have had today, city leaders understand I will perform the duties assigned to me by the Act to pursue a new civil complaint against the City.
“In the aftermath of last night’s violent outbreak, I have offered the City of Birmingham the support and resources of my office to restore peace to the City.”
This evening, the City of Birmingham has deployed crews to dismantle and remove the onerous obelisk which has cast the pallor of slavery over the city since its erection in 1905 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
By daybreak,
the onerous obelisk,
a 100+ year
monument to malignancy
terminus of treason
and
depot of despotism
WILL
BE
GONE!!
