28-Year-Old Confederate Statue Finally Removed From Georgia Courthouse
Some politicians were nearly brought to tears at removal of the monument, which culminated a long battle to right a wrong to local communities of color.

A Confederate monument erected as recent as 28 years ago was taken down on Friday after Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to have it removed from a Georgia courthouse.
The commissioners agreed in January to move the monument from outside of a Lawrenceville, Georgia, courthouse and into storage until it concluded a legal battle to determine its fate, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. While state law has strict restrictions against the relocation of Confederate monuments, the county commissioners found an exception due to two separate acts of vandalism that threatened the monument’s safety, thus allowing the group to move it to another location.

HISTORIC CITY NEWS
I am a native Floridian. A St Augustinian, to be exact. When the world was young, my business took me to Georgia where I had occasion to travel to a few large cities as well as a state-full of small rural communities. After all those years spent growing up here, the southeastern-most state in the nation, it was during those seven years in Georgia that I learned something else about me. I am also “a Southerner”; a heritage to be celebrated.
Friday we will celebrate the birthday of Pedro Menendez de Aviles; the conquistador and European explorer who settled St Augustine in 1565. Florida grew up under the flags of five nations. It is the Second Spanish Period that has been the focus of our restored architecture, historic education and, except for the Fountain of Youth Archeological Park, most of our attractions.

A Confederate monument that was erected outside a local courthouse in Gwinnett County, Ga., in 1993 was recently taken down.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the statue, which previously stood outside the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse in Lawrenceville, was removed late Thursday.
The removal comes after Gwinnett County commissioners decided to have the monument placed in storage last month amid an ongoing legal challenge and after local incidents of vandalism, the newspaper reported.

A resolution the local body passed at the time indicated that not taking down the monument could “result in additional acts of vandalism and create a public safety concern for the City of Lawrenceville and Gwinnett County.”
