OUR STATEMENT ON CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS
The nationwide call for racial justice and equity has brought renewed attention
to the Confederate monuments in many of our communities.

That’s why, today, the National Trust has issued a statement to guide
communities forward during this critical time.

We believe it is past time for us, as a nation, to acknowledge that some
monuments do not reflect, and are in fact abhorrent to, our values and to our
foundational obligation to continue building a more perfect union that embodies
equality and justice for all. Our view is that unless these monuments can in
fact be used to foster recognition of the reality of our painful past and invite reconciliation for the present and the future, they should be removed
from our public spaces.
