text: Actually,  I'd keep the JeffersonDavies statues too, even if they were erected in the 1950'sand 1960's.   For that too is part of history, and  it is certainly insightful knowing that many Americans in the South during the 1950's and 1960's still supported a slavery state.  Knowing this helps  to explain Donald Trump and the alt-right today--even if I find both most repugnant.
