Letter to Editor: Removal of Robert E. Lee a Message for Talbot County

September 9, 2021 by Letter to Editor

Given that Gen. Robert E. Lee’s statue has been removed from its pedestal in Richmond, Va., the former capital of the Confederacy, surely the Talbot Boys figure can be removed forthwith from the Easton courthouse grounds! And for the same reasons: it’s an anachronistic symbol of white supremacy and a daily affront to all who seek a fair and just society.

Amen! The County has a resolution to remove the Confederate Monument on their Sept. 14 agenda. Everyone who wants to see this moved should write to the County Council. I already have!
