West Virginia Legislative Photography Del. Geoff Foster, R-Putnam, speaking in a meeting of the House Government Organization Committee on Monday, March 15, 2021.
A committee in the West Virginia House of Delegates advanced a bill to protect monuments, markers, places and namesakes honoring “historical military, civil rights, natural disasters or accidents, and Native American events, figures, and organizations.” But conversation Monday made it clear that most if not all of the attention was focused on protecting monuments honoring the Confederacy.
As passed by the House Government Organization Committee, House Bill 2174 would create a misdemeanor for removing, replacing, rededicating or disturbing a monument on any public property that honors a historical figure or event as outlined in the legislation.
EASTVILLE, Va. (Tribune News Service) That
Arthur T. Carter is spearheading an effort to build this Civil War monument sounds about right. Especially when folks consider his lineage. His grandfather was born enslaved in
Eastville, the seat of
African American and white Union soldiers in its historic square. So many remembrances, particularly in
Virginia, are typically one or the other. His grandfather fought for the Union’s Colored Troops, survived one of the war’s most notorious battles, and later befriended the Confederate general who tried to slaughter his unit.
Peter Jacob Carter worked as if it were never too late, nor chasms too wide to breach, to try to do the right thing.
Woodlawn to push forward with carriage barn, expansion plans
ELLSWORTH Delayed by the pandemic, plans to reconstruct the Woodlawn carriage barn for use as an event and education center are expected to move forward once the Building Committee meets at a date to be determined. That will be followed by the annual meeting of the Hancock County Trustees of Public Reservations, the governing board of Woodlawn, on Jan. 30.
Outgoing President Jon Marshall said that while the old carriage barn has been removed from the property, plans for its replacement are not complete. The new barn will still use material salvaged from the former barn, although most of it is beyond use, Marshall said. The new structure may be slightly smaller than originally planned, he said. The original plan called for the carriage barn to be built on the same footprint as the old one. Renewable or more efficient energy sources, such solar panels and a heat pump, may be added to the plans, Marshall said.
