Savannah Looking for Monuments Solutions

This is good. They've got a lot of beautiful squares with Civil War monuments in them.

Savannah Mayor Eddie DeLoach had proposed a resolution during Thursday’s Savannah City Council meeting in support of the state renaming the Talmadge Bridge. In addition, DeLoach had called on the city staff to find a way to “expand the story” of the Confederate monument to be inclusive of all Savannahians, regardless or race, creed, or color, who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Civil War.

“While many, including myself, had family members fight and die for the Confederacy, we also had citizens who fought and died to preserve the Union,” he said.

While offering support for the mayor’s recommendations, the council opted to hold off on the resolution in order to first gather feedback from the public.
