Protestors Topple Confederate Monument in North Carolina

Durham (or Durham County) would have taken down the statue by now if the state legislature, which is highly gerrymandered to a Republican supermajority, hadn't passed a law making it impossible for local governments to remove confederate monuments without approval from a state historical commission.

Yes, the U.S. of 1890 was a paradise of racial equality and unity compared to today. Jeez.
