a cheer for my state .... [View all]

we have taken down all confederate memorials in the state but two, and two statues of Justice Roger B. Taney, the author of the Dred Scott decision.

All this week. Gone.

A couple of weeks ago the local confederate soldier monument was moved out of Rockville, too.

Go, Maryland!
