Relocate Confederate Statue at Travis Park to a Museum

The Confederate Statue in Travis Park in San Antonio, Texas represents, in the form of a monument, a time when former slave owners and supporters of Jim Crow ruled the political environment.

This symbol of bigotry was erected as a guise to coverup the inhuman system of slavery, and part of the so-called "Redeemer Movement" of the "Lost Cause. " This movement sought to reinvent history and erase the main reasons for the Civil War, which was the protection of the institution of slavery, enforcement of white supremacy, and to promote racism through the years.

The presence of this statue, in a public place, erases the real reasons for the Civil War and does not represent the multi-cultural diversity of San Antonio. WE, the citizens of San Antonio are demanding that such a hateful reminder of bigotry be removed to a museum, or other suitable place, where the true history about those that defended slavery can be told. As the counterprotestors said this weekend "hey hey - ho ho - this racist monument's gotta go."

We are a clear message that their worship of soldiers that were traitors to America should not be celebrated. We are also aware that many of these confederate soldiers were forced to fight and thousands picked up arms against Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy, for they realized that the plantation owners and owners of slaves did not have to fight. In Texas poor whites rallied against the Confederates and fought them.

Moving this statue to a museum is the right thing to do so that the true story of the slave owners and those that wasted their lives defending the plantation owners can be told.
