The Confederacy Under Attack-- Part 249: North Carolina Has a Lot of Confederate Monuments

From the April 22-24, 2016, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**  Report:  North Carolina has more Confederate monuments than 48 other states.

Virginia has 96.  Georgia and North Carolina are tied for second with 90.    N.C.  also have additional places named after Confederates such as buildings and two roads bringing a total of 140.  Most of these date to the early 20th century, well before the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s-1960s.

**  Confederate memorials in Virginia can be pulled by local governments.  (Loss)  Any place with a majority of blacks running the government can get rid of anything Confederate.

**  Trump is top suggestion to replace Robert E. Lee in school's name.  (Texas)  Can't help but laugh at that one.
