A new billboard may turn the heads of folks driving east on Interstate 40 near the junction with I-95 at Benson.
Installed by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the ad features an image of the controversial Confederate monument on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill known as Silent Sam.
The ad, next to one for Bojangles', includes the group's Confederate Flag logo and the words: "HELP US PROTECT OUR VETERANS' MONUMENTS!"
"The billboard references the recently increased efforts of Durham-based communists and Governor Roy Cooper to destroy and forcefully remove memorials to our veterans," Kevin Stone, the group commander, wrote in a statement shared Thursday.
