We, the future of Appling County, envision a world free of racial devisiveness and full of promise for people of all colors. We ask the Appling County Commissioners that Confederate monuments and memorials be kept in their appropriate places, away from civic grounds that represent justice.
The Appling County Commissioners continue to ignore our demands while these monuments stay exactly where they shouldn't be. I have spent the week organizing a formal presentation for the next board meeting to force them to look us in the eye. They think we will disappear if they stay silent but they are dead wrong.

The Appling County Commissioners thought we would just stay quiet and let these relics of hate occupy our halls of justice forever. They are wrong because the momentum building behind this effort proves that our community is finished with their excuses.

Put them in a park or a museum. Civic centers are for the whole community not just some people.

Keep history in the museums where it belongs. Public buildings should be for everyone.
