A New Petition Wants To Keep A Confederate Memorial From Being Torn Down Near Jacksonville

It's in an effort to reverse a recent city vote.
Confederate Memorial Protesters In St. Augustine Create Petition To Keep Monument

A crowd spent the July 4th weekend protesting in Florida's oldest city to keep a part of history standing.

The Confederate memorial protesters in St. Augustine rallied around the monument with both American and Confederate flags to sway city leaders to not take it down. 


“

If we erase our history, we're doomed to repeat it."

The memorial's fate is already sealed as the St. Augustine city council voted 3-to-2 to remove the statue on June 22.

A Facebook group, Defend St. Augustine, has collected 300 signatures to keep the monument standing, while a pending lawsuit aims to reverse the decision.

Other Confederate monuments in North Florida have recently been removed.
