HeadlineAug 29, 2017

Back in the United States, the Durham County Sheriff’s Office has issued three more arrest warrants for people allegedly involved in tearing down the Confederate Soldiers Monument in front of the Old Durham County Courthouse on August 14. The three are facing charges of felony inciting a riot, as well as two additional misdemeanor charges. A total of 11 people have now been charged. The toppling of the statue in Durham came amid massive nationwide protests following the deadly white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, which left one person dead and dozens injured.
