We have many sad chapters in our history and it does seem like too many people are unwilling to learn from them. I was heartened to read the comments and know that so many of your readers *were* so willing to accept the changes . I hope when the new statue is completed you will do a new post, so that I won’t miss it (I wasn’t sure what you meant by updating this pos). .... I made our small but complete Thanksgiving dinner for two on the Sunday before and we ate leftovers in out tiny trailer on the real day while listening to the ocean. Like you, we missed family but we have much to be gratitude.

Our nearby city of Asheville NC plans to remove an obilisk in honor of the governor, Vance, during the Civil War. A small gesture, and there are many statues still honoring Confederates around here. Unfortunately, many of their descendants want those statues to remain in place, since these were their heroes from that war. But until history is taught more accurately in schools, it will be really hard to change people's minds.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-81904084905568608292020-12-01T08:15:29.967-05:002020-12-01T08:15:29.967-05:00Do you we ever learn from such horrific massacres?...Do you we ever learn from such horrific massacres?

Even removed them from the Cook's landing painting - the drawing has them in it, the painting done a few months later back in 1885 removed them all. So, perhaps we all relearn history a little more accuarately, and then we don't necessarily want these people revered.Lydia C.
