There are SO many other and more welcoming symbols of southern heritage than these monuments! Let’s focus more on the hospitality and kindness that defines southern culture instead of glorifying and praising the incredibly violent and racist history we have.

It's past time for these relics to go. Put them in a Confederate Museum.

This statue represents not only racism but the hate-filled division amongst our country during the civil war. For those who claim to be patriots, why would they want to honor those Americans who rebelled against the country they claim to love so much? Fly your American flag proudly but when you display the confederate flag you are perpetuating the division. You can’t stand for both.

Disgraceful that Graham has such a deep cult-like culture of "gotta protect mah statue". It speaks negative volumes about the town that such a statue funded by the racially motivated D.A.R just steps from where the KKK hanged Wyatt Outlaw has lasted so long. We are here to stay and will see it removed one day, die mad about it.

Enough systemic racism and archaic statues meant to intimidate people of color. Take the statue down.

We must not continue to glorify white supremacy. We must call the confederacy what it was, treason. Just because our ancestors fought for slavery does not mean we must continue to celebrate their cause.

Move the monuments to an area where all historical monuments can still be seen by those who want history to remain in tacked.

This statue is a representation of the hatred and ignorance this country was founded upon. If people of color don't feel comfortable in Graham because of this statue it should have been taken down decades ago!
It’s time we move into the new century!
