I am shocked to know there are still places where history of hatred is celebrated and I am glad this petition is moving us forward!

No monuments in present day America should reflect a legacy of hate.

Clarification: remembering one formal march downtown + other activities in the area. These monuments also represent inequitable government policies, not just the klan.

It's time for changes in Shelby NC, if we are sincere about the situation (s),rascism, injustice we are facing even in our small city we need to take the initiative and remove anything pertaining to oppression and the hatred for any particular race.

I refused to consider a job as a physician in Shelby due to this statue. This legacy is depriving the area of needed professionals, and limiting growth.

It’s time for these to go. Accept it and move on because hatred will not stand and cannot stand.
