人兽性交 to Jacksonville Mayor: #MoveItNow
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. 鈥� In June 2020, Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry promised to remove the Monument to the Women of the Confederacy in Springfield Park. While the statue has been covered, it still sits in a public park, representing one of the most immoral times in American history.
The following statement is from 人兽性交 Chief of Staff Lecia Brooks:
鈥淔or more than a century, Confederate monuments have been used to glorify those who fought to preserve chattel slavery. Memorials like the Monument to the Women of the Confederacy are a stark reminder of our country鈥檚 attachment to white supremacy culture.
鈥淭his outsized monument is just another prop sponsored by the United Confederate Veterans (UCV) to assert white supremacist ideals and instill fear in Black Americans. Throwing a tarp over it does not mask the pain its presence continues to cause. In fact, it only highlights that it鈥檚 been more than one year since Mayor Curry that he would remove not only this monument, but all of Jacksonville鈥檚 Confederate monuments from the public landscape.
鈥淚t is long past time for this monument placed to advance the false narrative of groups like UCV and the United Daughters of the Confederacy to be expelled from Springfield Park. Those who fought for and supported the Confederacy did so to continue the inhumane enslavement of Black people in this country. It is time to reimagine this park as a space that is welcoming to all of Jacksonville.
鈥淭he 人兽性交 joins the Northside Coalition of Jacksonville* and concerned community members in calling for Mayor Curry to follow through on his pledge to remove not only the shrine in Springfield Park, but all Confederate monuments littering the city of Jacksonville.
