Some more positive statue news!
See the following statement from the American Heritage Association, via the Virginia Flaggers:
“We are pleased to inform you that the statue of U.S. Vice-President John C. Calhoun is now in the possession of the Calhoun Monument Preservation Society, a non-profit created jointly by the AHA and the Plaintiffs in the lawsuit (members of the Calhoun family, a descendant of the Vice-President of the Ladies Calhoun Monument Association and the Board of Field Officers of the 4th Brigade). In addition to the statue, all of the associated bronze palmettos and plaques were also turned over to the society. The next phase should be exciting!”
