Statue issue revisited; no action
County commission hears more public input on Confederate monument
W 072115 MONUMENT DEBATE 01
Local attorney and State President of the Georgia NAACP Francys Johnson, left, and Sons of Confederate Veterans member Mike Sorrell have a one-on-one discussion after both made public comments concerning the future of the Confederate soldier monument on the courthouse grounds during the Bulloch County Commission Tuesday.
Tuesday, Bulloch County commissioners once again heard citizens' views regarding a proposal to move a Confederate memorial statue from the county courthouse square, but still they took no action. Supporters want the statue left as it is. Those who don't hope to form a committee to discuss options for the memorial's proposed removal.
