Hate or heritage: The battle over monuments to the Confederacy - KUSI News

WASHINGTON D.C. (KUSI) — The battle over Confederate monuments is being waged in cities and communities across the nation. For many people, these monuments represent one of the darkest chapters in American history, but to others, they are a reminder of this nation's heritage. Overnight in Baltimore, a stark reminder that even that which is set in stone can be removed with enough force. Statues of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson were among four monuments hauled off into the night on a flatbed truck. Hours earlier in Birmingham, Alabama, crews put up plywood to obscure a 52- foot obelisk honoring Confederate soldiers and sailors. All this, just hours after President Trump posed this question:  "I noticed that Stonewall Jackson's coming down. I wonder is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?" For Baltimore's mayor, the answer was simple: ...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The man accused of plowing a car into a crowd protesting a white supremacist rally in Virginia had been photographed hours earlier carrying the emblem of one of the hate groups that participated in the event. Vanguard America on Sunday denied any association with the suspect, even as a separate hate group involved in Saturday’s rally pledged on social media to organize future events that would be “bigger than Charlottesville.” The mayor of Charlottesville and political leaders of all political stripes vowed to combat the hate groups and urged President Donald Trump to forcefully denounce the organizations that had promoted the protest against the removal of a Confederate statue. Some of those groups specifically cited Trump ’s election after a campaign of racially charged rhetoric as validation of their beliefs. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced late Saturday that federal authorities would pursue a civil rights investigation into the circums...
