The Confederacy Under Attack-- Part 229: Confederate Monuments to Stay, for Now, in New Orleans

From the March 28-31, 2016, Google Alerts for Confederate.

**  Jefferson Davis Statue Transfer Vaults Appeal.  (Texas)  (Loss)  The University of Texas in Austin wants to move the statue.  The SCV challenged it in the Texas Appeals Court and lost.

**  Having postponed for Confederate monuments legislation, city seeks OK to remove Liberty Place monument.  (New Orleans, will go back to capitalization because the black city council failed, at least initially, to have them removed.)  (Win)  The Liberty Place monument is dedicated to an 1870s white militia.  I am alright with removing this one, but not the Confederate ones.  The State senate Bill 276 calls for the creation of a commission with final authority over removal of Confederate monuments.

**  Rally in Berea Protests Sale of Confederate Flag Merchandise.  (Kentucky)  (Loss)  The big complaint is the sale of these items at the annual Spoonbread Festival.  Protesters pointing out that the Kentucky State Fair and State Park System have already banned the sale.  The Berea Chamber of Commerce runs the festival and won't ban the flags.
