A North Carolina appeals court has upheld a lower-court decision that affirmed a local decision to keep a Confederate monument standing outside a central North Carolina courthouse
A North Carolina appeals court ruled Tuesday that local leaders who refused calls to remove a Confederate monument from outside a county courthouse acted in a constitutional manner and kept in place the statue at its longtime location in accordance with state law. The three-judge panel unanimously upheld a trial court judge's decision to side with Alamance County and its commissioners over the 30 foot -tall statue, which features a Confederate infantryman perched at the top.
He also said the county manager's email to commissioners in June 2020, in which he asked them to consider removing the monument out of concern for protesters' safety, did not qualify for an exception to that law. “At all times, the Monument Protection Law required the County to leave the Monument in its current place,” Dillon wrote.
