ALLENDALE, Mich. â A West Michigan man is defending himself and the other people involved after they allegedly damaged a controversial statue in Allendale this weekend.
Mitch Kahle, founder of the Michigan Association of Civil Rights Activists, says around 6 p.m. Friday a handful of people from his organization, including himself, and Justice for Black Lives, another West Michigan group, âtarred and featheredâ the Confederate soldier part of the Civil War statue in Allendale Townshipâs Veteranâs Garden of Honor.
The black paint and feathers have since been cleaned off.
