2020.06.13 Marker to Confederate Soldiers, Fort Worth, Texas USA
A 4-0 County Commission vote slated the marker for removal. 4 commissioners abstained from voting.
“The tall granite memorial is on the grounds of the courthouse, southeast of the main entrance. It was erected in 1953 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, according to the monument.
The Tarrant County Equality Union started a petition to have the monument removed saying it “‘is offensive and intimidating to many who enter the courthouse hoping for equal justice.’”
