Due to Escalating Threats, Hollywood Forever Cemetery Removes Confederate Monument

The Hollywood Forever Cemetery has given in to leftist pressure to remove the monument marking the graves and lives of 30 fallen Confederate soldiers

After fielding dozens of calls and emails seeking the monument’s removal, the owner of the cemetery, as well as the owner of the monument — the Long Beach Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy — agreed to move it to an undisclosed location, said Theodore Hovey, cemetery spokesman and family services counselor.

The process of removing the monument started before dawn, Hovey said. By Wednesday morning, it was covered with a blue trap and hauled away in a pickup.

You see this monument grave marker was incompatible with the liberal agenda because it instructed people to remember history.

Since 1925, the monument has stood in the Confederate section of the cemetery, where at least 37 Confederate veterans and their families are buried.

The tall, granite rock marker holds a tablet emblazoned with three Confederate flags, two crosses and the words, “In memory of the soldiers of the Confederate States Army who have died or may die on the Pacific Coast.”

It went on to say, “Lord God of most be with us yet, lest we forget — lest we forget.”

How dare people be so racist as to condone slavery and racial injustice like the Germans did by refusing to bulldoze Auschwitz in the dead of night? Remember that famous saying hanging above the doors of Auschwitz? Well, it turns out people in favor of protecting constitutional rights can’t ever win.  Or can they? Absolutely! Listen to what Monique Edwards has to say on what is really going on with the removal of these monuments.

At the cemetery on Wednesday, visitor Monique Edwards, a South Los Angeles resident, said she came to see whether there was any public reaction to the monument’s removal.

Edwards, who is African American, said its removal was not fair and should not be done because it was an important historical reminder.

“If you remove it, place it in a museum so that all of us can see and use it as a teachable moment,” she said.

Removing traces of history that can be connected to racism from history hurts the very people it claims to protect.
