Why Virginians deserve to have local control over Confederate monuments

Salon  

Confederate monuments are back in the news in Virginia. Legislation that would let cities and counties control decisions over local Confederate monuments will be introduced this month in both the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate. More than two years later, General Lee and two other Confederate statues still stand in downtown Charlottesville, kept there by a local judge's ruling that cited the state law protecting Confederate monuments from attempts to "disturb or interfere with" them. While city attorneys agree with Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring that the law does not apply to independent cities like Charlottesville, and plan to appeal, the local control bill will make sure that all localities — cities and counties — have the right to make local decisions that reflect their values and ensure public safety. Several statewide groups, including Virginia First Cities, a coalition of Virginia's oldest cities, and the statewide coalition Monumental Justice Virginia, have called for local control of monuments, and changes in the makeup of the legislature itself make passage more likely in 2020 than it has ever been before.
