Two organizations have filed lawsuits against the city of Reidsville and three state organizations in another attempt to return the Reidsville Confederate Monument to the roundabout at Scales and Morehead streets.
The Historic Preservation Action Committee (HPAC) and the North Carolina Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) had their attorney, Peter H. Ledford, file a lawsuit against the city of Reidsville, the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT), the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources (NCDCR) and the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC).
The lawsuit was filed in response to the actions each organization took in regards to the Reidsville Confederate Monument, which stood in the intersection of Scales Street and West Morehead Street for 101 years. The monument was shattered last May after a Greensboro man, Mark Anthony Vincent, drove his car into the monument. The statue on top broke into pieces but the base remained, for the most part, intact, though shifted from its original position.
