Rocky Mount to remove 103-year-old Confederate monument

Rocky Mount, N.C.

After 103 years on a grassy rise at Battle Park in Rocky Mount, a monument to Confederate veterans will come down. City council voted 6-1 Tuesday night in favor of removal after the words etched in the granite monument pricked the conscience of the crowd, drawing the attention of protesters.

On Sunday evening, more than 300 people rallied at the Confederate monument in Rocky Mount. The marker was sponsored by a Confederate veteran in 1917.
