The Danville Museum of Fine Arts & History's board of directors has approved a three-year strategic plan to create a new mission and vision that will drive new initiatives and partnerships.
As part of the initiative, the museum's board of directors recently asked the city "to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History," according to a letter sent to City Manager Joe King.
The new theme for the museum, "The Last Capitol of the Confederacy, The Beginning of a United Nation," will help define the museum's goal to be more inclusive and improve the scope of its work, according to a news release from the museum. The new theme recognizes the museum's 40-year history and the legacy of the Sutherlin Mansion.
In the waning days of the Civil War, the mansion served as the final home of the Confederate government after the fall of Richmond. Danville is considered the "last capitol" because it marked the last time the full Confederate government met in one place before the armies in the field surrendered.

Then those who occupied that dwelling would want it razed. When the flag goes, so goes the structure. And there goes the jobs of those Progessive's... Freeing them up to destroy some other part of American history. Until some Patriot puts a bullet in their brain pan.
ReplyDeleteInsidious yankees, how I detest them and I'll vote for the necessary remedy.
DeleteHelp me out here a bit, Im just a dumb yankee. Do the southern states with the confederate flag within their state flags, have state constitutional protection of their state flags? I dont understand why any public property (or publicly funded) could ask or demand the removal of a state flag from their premises. Someone please explain this to me. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThey will play eternal white guilt until doomsday unless it runs out before. Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I guess Im damned then because I have no guilt for what my ancestors did. I had no controll over their doings. Maybe a funny thing to say as a yankee but I feel this country would have been better off if the south had won.
ReplyDeleteThanks and we certainly wouldn't be in the predicament we are in today, that's for sure.
DeleteHow quickly the Federalists of olde resorted to violence and genocide against their fellow countrymen. They have been in control since, and that should give us no reservations regarding their willingness to repeat their crimes.
