confederate monument

A federal judge has denied the motion made by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to stop the removal of the monument while the legal battle moves through the court system.

A motion filed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to stop the removal of the Confederate monument outside of the Caddo Parish Courthouse has been denied.

Give it a little thought and, before you listen, ask yourself: What five (or more) big plans or ideas have been in the works, but have yet to come to fruition?

According to the Parish website, ownership of the land is not in question and, it's not the Caddo Commission, but the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

The United Daughters of the Confederacy has filed a lawsuit to keep the Caddo Commission from removing the Confederate Monument from the grounds of the Caddo Courthouse.

During this afternoon's meeting, Caddo Parish Commission President Steven Jackson paused public comments at one point, and asked those in the audience who were to support taking the monument down to rise from their seats.

The Caddo Parish Commission is set to vote today on the future of the Confederate Monument outside the Courthouse. LSU Shreveport Associate Professor of Political Science Jeffery Sadow says he expects the panel to vote to remove the statue.

The removal of the Confederate monument at the Caddo Courthouse is coming close to a reality after today's vote.

Does the recent past settle the argument once and for all?

Over the weekend, I saw a post pop up on Facebook referring to an advertisement for paid actors to protest the Confederate monument in Shreveport. Like most, I did a double take.
