This Petition is for Jefferson County Ga. Citizens only, I was told that the first petition that generated over 4,000 signatures was no good, because these signatures came from across the country, as if slavery only happened in Louisville, but the 70 or more letters that were given to the city council, were to move the slave market to another place in Louisville are the only signatures that counted. Therefore the State of Ga. Civil Rights Memorial Group is sending out another petition to be signed by Jefferson County citizens only, so please voice your concerns Jefferson County Citizens and sign this petition to move the slave market out of Jefferson County Ga. period. There is no evidence that black people died or were killed at this place, so the spirit theory of spirits hanging around there for over 250 years is something that the white Peoples want you to believe in. Slavery is not the history of black people, Slavery is the white folk sick way of life, it’s their heritage, besides the selling of black peoples at this place was illegal in the state of Ga. this monstrosity of a monument is something that we as black folks should not be proud of, everyone in this country and abroad knows about the slave trade, we do not need a reminder.

I heard through the grapevine that they think they can just ignore us by pretending the signatures from across the country don't matter but they are wrong because the truth about this place is loud enough without them. It is honestly so insulting that they try to play games with what counts as a real opinion while ignoring the fact that this history is not ours to celebrate. I am keeping a list of every single person who signs because we need to prove that we live here and we want that thing gone for good.

THIS IS LONG OVERDUE. Put that thing in a museum where it belongs instead of front and center in our daily lives. Why is this so hard for the city to understand???
African Americans are NOT ok with this Symbol of the indignation and oppression. Who does this benefit ?? Why do you want it there. Your ancestors didn’t suffer the atrocities of Slavery.,Ours did !!! The Oppressed will never know peace until these symbols are gone. It feeds the mindset of power of one group over another. That’s why today’s want to be oppressors are trying to keep it. We are a majority population in this county, and we are voting to have it gone.
Remove the slave market and show the people of Louisville they are valued and while time can’t erase the past the present and future will be better for everyone
Move it out of the square already. We dont need to be reminded of that painful time every single time we drive through town.
It needs to be moved into a respective place. We're constantly reminded of our history everyday this is the biggest remiminder.
It’s a disgrace and a abomination that this monstrosity is still standing.
Trickery, I know very well from my disabilities involving JCBOE.
