Two Alabama state senators say they want to divert part of a statewide property tax tied to the legacy of the Confederacy to preserve and promote Black history in the state.  Alabama imposed the tax to fund pensions for Confederate soldiers and their widows, and still collects it today, the only tax directly tied to the Confederacy.  Most of the revenue is used for other purposes, but one per cent goes to preserve and operate the state s Confederate Memorial Park in rural Mountain Creek.  Senators Clyde Chambliss and Bobby Singleton will sponsor a bill this year that would preserve the funding for the park, but require the state to spend an equal one per cent on Black history sites.
