After the criminal acts committed by White Nationalists in Charlottesville, VA, Mayor William Bell of Birmingham, AL has taken action on what has become a hot political issue. He has devised the perfect plan to “protect” his city's monuments honoring traitors to the U.S. who joined of the Confederacy.
Mayor Bell began his program in Birmingham’s Linn Park, where a team of city workers boarded up the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument. The monument can no longer be seen by anyone so is now “protected” from damage or removal.
The southern racists are particularly pi$$ed off having their Confederate monument taken from public view. But, as everyone one knows, some people are impossible to please, especially conservatives.
Hopefully, Birmingham's mayor will succeed in “protecting” all the Confederate monuments in his city, either by covering them, or by relocating them to “safe” locations. If this happens, perhaps other city leaders in former Confederate states will follow Mayor Bell's example.
