“The Jefferson Davis Chair is in our possession!” reads a mock-tattered ransom note delivered to AL.com last week. For the chair’s return, “White Lies Matter, Inc.” demanded that a banner featuring a quote attributed to Black Liberation Army activist, Assata Shakur, hang for 24-hours from the United Daughters of the Confederacy’s Richmond, Virginia, headquarters beginning last Friday, April 9.

See enclosed photograph,” the ransom continues.
