Albany statue was erected as reminder of tremendous loss of life during Civil War
As Civil War monuments and memorials across the country continue to be vandalized, defaced or damaged by people/protesters moved by strong personal convictions, racial motivations, political agendas or simply by an ability to be provocatively offended by social conventions and societal norms that existed, in all their ugliness, more than 152 years ago, The Albany Herald looked into the history of a Confederate monument that once was located in downtown Albany.
Long moved from downtown, today the monument sits as the centerpiece of Confederate Memorial Park on Philema Road.
