City commission votes to support removal of war monument
December 22, 2020 GMT
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) Commissioners in an Atlanta-area city have voted in favor of a resolution that supports removing a cannon from a city square that honors the Creek War of 1836, which saw the removal of Native Americans from the South.
Monday’s vote came after high school students in Decatur called for the removal of the monument near the old DeKalb County courthouse, saying it was a symbol of oppression. They told city commissioners Monday the cannon should be removed because it has ties to the forced removal of Native Americans.
