What residents are saying about today’s issues

Do you think the removal of statues depicting controversial figures is bad?

“I think it hurts our area’s history. How can we teach people about the world if we only view some of its history?”

“I think it’s a laughing stock. A lot of things offend me. But tolerance is part of life. I deal with it.”

“I think some of it has gone too far, honestly. I think some of the people are just trying to be seen and make political statements.”

“If something is offensive, then it shouldn’t be up on display. That’s my view.”

“Why would that be OK? I think they are erasing Southern history for something that’s not real.”

“I am opposed to it. I see both arguments, but I think it’s dividing more than it’s uniting.”
