Tiny town Trump won with 63% of vote seeks to remove Confederate monument [View all]
The residents of Owensboro, Kentucky, are ramping up their fight to have a Confederate monument removed from outside of their local courthouse.
The small town — said to have only 4,000 Black residents out of 60,000 — is in Daviess County, which voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump in the 2020 election, according to an editorial by The Louisville Courier-Journal.
A billboard was erected Tuesday calling for the monument of a rebel soldier to be moved from outside the Daviess County Courthouse, where it has stood for 122 years.
“Show (love) for all,” the billboard reads. “REMOVE Owensboro-Daviess County’s Confederate Monument.” In small print is #TakeItDown and #WhoseHeritage. It was paid for by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
