NAACP Condemns Honoring Confederate Statutes

My heart dropped when I learned that a statute celebrating all the soldiers who fought for the Confederate Army would be moved from the Sam Houston Park to the Houston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC).

The states’ rights they fought to defend were the rights of each of the states to decide for themselves to maintain the system of enslaving African American people.
