A bill is being reintroduced in Florence regarding a Confederate monument By DeAndria Turner | March 10, 2021 at 7:20 PM CST - Updated March 10 at 7:23 PM
LAUDERDDALE COUNTY, Ala. (WAFF) - Alabama lawmakers rejected a bill that would give cities and counties options to relocate confederate monuments.
Now, an updated version of the bill has been re-introduced.
For months, community members led by the group Project Say Something protested daily for the removal of the Confederate monument outside of the courthouse in Florence.
Camille Bennett with Project Say Something said she isn’t surprised the first bill didn’t make it through committee.
