Group sues NC county over Confederate monument thanking ‘faithful slaves’


North Carolina residents sued their county in federal court to remove a Confederate monument that thanks “faithful slaves” and celebrates the Confederacy.

The Concerned Citizens of Tyrrell County, a Black community organizing group, claim the Tyrrell County Confederate Memorial violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment because of its racist language.
