A government that renamed, altered or removed a monument or historic building without prior approval from the committee would be fined $25,000 for each violation.


Slap on the wrist.

Alabamians dont play that shite. They tore down a Nathan Bedford Forrest monument in selma and it was replaced with a shiny new one a few months later. Selma is 80% black, and Forrest was definitely in the Klan in addition to being a confederate general.

The monument still stands, amongst a sea of tiny confederate flags planted in the ground around it
