North Carolina to Retain Confederate Statues on State Capitol Grounds

HeadlineAug 23, 2018

In North Carolina, the state Historical Commission voted 9 to 2 Wednesday not to remove three Confederate monuments from the grounds of the state Capitol. This comes just two days after protesters tore down the so-called “Silent Sam” Confederate statue at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. We’ll have more on the fight over Confederate monuments later in the broadcast.
