The president of the University of Texas in Austin, Greg Fenves caved in to outcries that two statues represent the South’s racist past. He announced on Thursday that the statue of Jefferson Davis will be moved from the campus’s Main Mall to the school’s Dolph Briscoe Center for American History.
The statue of Woodrow Wilson was also moved to “maintain symmetry on the mall.”

Why are we Changi g history instead ofearning from it? And if this is how it goes I want all mlk statues a d street signs removed, see how stupid this is
Bruce Rowley did you go to civilwar.org website like I suggested? Your talking points about states rights is just smoke. The states rights that they wanted was to keep slaves sir. If you care to learn anything its right there sir.
I don’t blame all people of the south. The majority were exploited because of their since of pride, devotion to their state and strong sense of honor that southerners are taught sir. Jefferson Davis on the other hand was helping the rich slave owners take advantage of the great common every day citizens. The majority of which never owned any slaves. Unfortunately the majority of us are still being exploited today.
Please go to the site and read for yourself and learn the truth as I did. I used to believe the talking points that you stated in your post but now I know better. Pick any of the thirteen states. I read South Carolina and Mississippi personally and that told me everything I needed.
After you read a couple of the states secessionist papers please post back and I would enjoy debating this with you further.
I wish you a happy day sir.
Slavery? What slavery?
Sad days….
Save them so Trump can put them back.
