Remove the Appomattox statute in Alexandria
In Alexandria, Virginia, thousands of people per day are subjected to a valorization of traitors who fought and killed patriotic Americans to perpetuate the enslavement of humans. It's time to remove it.
Why is this important?
In one of the busiest intersections in all of Virginia, on the corner of Prince St. and George Washington Pkwy., sits a monument "in memory of the confederate dead." Nowhere on the monument does mention that the confederate army enslaved free people, raped enslaved women, or were personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of loyal Americans. It does NOT say, "May we never forget the evil for which they stood."
This monument to sickening monsters can apparently only be removed by an act of the state legislature. This needs to be a legislative priority and it needs to go now.
