Richmond City Council will take up the resolution introduced by Councilman Jones (Resolution 2018-R073) that asks the Virginia General Assembly to give the City the authority to determine the disposition of the statues on Monument Avenue, which the resolution describes as tangible symbols of oppression. The meeting at City Hall will begin at 6:00 pm. The Jones resolution may be taken up late in the meeting, so patience is required.

It would be helpful to have a good turnout. Please try to attend.

I have had a number of conversations with the editor of the editorial page of the Times-Dispatch beginning with my critical message to him about his "a good first step" editorial regarding the recommendation of the Monument Avenue Commission to remove the Jefferson Davis statue. I believe that he now supports adding rather than removing.
