Confederate Monument Vandalized

The massive Confederate monument on the grounds of Alabama's Sate Capitol in Montgomery was vandalized November 13th.

A person, or persons, climbed over a wrought iron fence and painted the faces and hands of the statues black.

At the base of the monument, the letters and numbers "N. T. 11 11 31" were painted. It is believed that this is in reference to Nat Turner who was executed on November 11, 1831, after leading a rebellion against the slave owners.

Associated Press "Alabama Capitol's Confederate monument defaced with black paint" by Desiree Hunter, Nov. 14th.
