The public will have a chance to comment before Governor Roy Cooper's tribunal on the future of Confederate monuments in North Carolina at an upcoming public meeting.
The meeting is scheduled for March 21 in the auditorium of the North Carolina State Archives in downtown Raleigh and will run from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The chair of the committee will have the option to extend the meeting by one hour, if he feels as though more comments are needed.
Speakers will be limited to one minute and will address the committee in the order they signed up. The committee chair will also have the option to divert from that list to ask for speakers representing a different viewpoint, if he feels that too many people are speaking in favor of retaining the monuments.
Public comments can also be made through an online portal.
Committee members said on Monday that more than 3,700 messages had already been received.
The five-member panel is scheduled to bring a report back to the full Historical Commission next month before that body considers options regarding Governor Cooper's demand that the monuments be removed.
