TAKE DOWN THE CONFEDERATE STATUE IN SAN ANTONIO

Remove the Confederate Memorial from public use.

Move it from Travis Park.

It can be given to a private organization, it can be put in a museum or an archive where we can remember the oppression and hatred that it represent . . .

Or it can be destroyed.

The history that it represents will never be forgotten . . .

But the memorial needs to be retired from public use.

Why is this important?

Since 1899, that statue has been a hateful symbol of the brutality of slavery; it memorializes white supremacy and human bondage.

Even today, racists and klansmen continue to worship it . . .

Yet we know it only represents those people who continue to support the racist agenda of white supremacists.

We cannot continue to display hateful symbols in public . . . .

TAKE THE STATUE DOWN!
