In numerous counties across North Carolina, Confederate Monuments occupy public spaces, including prominent placement on courthouse grounds. Confederate Monuments project the legacies of slavery and white supremacy; they are and are intended to be cultural symbols of racism; most of which were erected decades after the Civil War during the Jim Crow and Civil Rights eras. Those guarding the entrance of courthouses were intended as powerful messages of terror and injustice to all Black people who entered. They negate the very ideal of equal justice for all. That is their purpose.
