3:19Now PlayingMassachusetts’ only Confederate monument couldn’t legally be removed so officials found a unique way to make sure people can’t see it. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Michael Shure, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Not long after New Orleans officials removed four Confederate statues that many viewed as symbols of racism and hatred this summer, Governor Charlie Baker voiced his desire to remove Massachusetts’s only Confederate memorial, located near Fort Warren on Georges Island.
It’s an effort that has proven easier said than done.
The memorial, erected in 1963 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, has been boarded up since June 16 as the Department of Conservation and Recreation and Massachusetts Historical Commission determine what to do with it.
State officials say the process of removal or relocation is under greater scrutiny because of Fort Warren’s designation as a national historic landmark. Meanwhile, the headstone commemorating 13 Confederate soldiers who died while imprisoned at Fort Warren during the Civil War remains on a grassy slope near the visitor center, its future unclear.”
