That is when the police would beat the AA's if they so much put a toe on the white side

The brutalist style architecture that many of the govt buildings utilize is absolutely garbage.

How anyone can look at brutalist architecture and think “oh that’s a nice looking building” is beyond me.

It was a confederate memorial statue. There are dozens exactly like it around the south. When the new Town Square was built, it was supposed to be moved over to the grounds of the Old State Capitol. I don't think it ever got moved there and is instead in storage, possibly at DPW.

Edit: Post above me says it was eventually moved to the Old State Capitol.

The plaque actually reads in full, "...crossed the river with their immortal leaders to rest under the shade of the trees." What does that mean? We're not sure. Less resting and more fighting might have helped those Confederates keep their slaves.


Holy frick the writer is dumb. What does it mean? It means they died. They crossed the river styx to their eternal resting place alongside their leaders.
