The complaint filed by the Talbot County Branch of the NAACP, the Maryland Office of the Public Defender and the state’s branch of the ACLU takes aim at the memorial to the “Talbot Boys” erected feet from the county courthouse entrance in Easton. It demands that Talbot County immediately remove the statue from its county seat and not keep the statue anywhere else on public grounds. It also seeks monetary damages.
