‘No legislation is gonna stop us’. Fight to remove Jacksonville’s confederate monuments continues
The Northside Coalition of Jacksonville, Take Em Down Jax, and more gathered in front of City Hall, protesting a law that would make removal of monuments illegal.
(First Coast News) – More Jacksonville organizations are coming forward fighting for the removal of confederate monuments and protesting a proposed Florida bill that would make the removal illegal.
Representatives with the Northside Coalition of Jacksonville, Take Em Down Jax, and many others gathered in front of City Hall Tuesday. Many say its been a yearlong fight and won’t stop until there is change.
“Take them down! Take them down,” many chanted in front of City Hall Tuesday. “If you think that it is okay, you’re not trying to preserve history, you’re trying to preserve white supremacy, and that is inexcusable.”
They also argued a bill filed by State Representative Dean Black. House Bill 395: Historical Monuments and Memorials Protection Act; protects historical monuments and memorials from removal, damage, or destruction and allows the Governor to remove a local official who removes a monument. The bill says a monument can only be relocated temporarily for construction of a nearby area.
Joseph Maceo George with the North Florida Central Labor Council called the bills language ‘racist, discriminatory, and against democracy.’
“The bill prevents our elected officials to do what’s right,” Joseph Maceo George with the North Florida Central Labor Council said.
