The U.S. House on Tuesday passed a legislation which will remove statues in the Capitol Hill that pay tribute to historical figures with legacies of defending slavery, including those who served the Confederacy.
A total of 67 Republicans joined with all Democrats in support, while 120 voted against it. The final vote was 285-120. We ought not to forget history. We must learn from history. But we ought not to honor that which defiled the principles for which we think we stand, said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Democrat of Maryland, the bill s leading sponsor.
