Whose Monument Project: Project Say Something Workshop on the Confederacy

So much of the Confederate symbol idolatry is based upon the false narrative of the Lost Cause. Project Say Something has been protesting a monument that sits in front of the Lauderdale County Courthouse, in Florence, AL.

True to its mission to educate while taking action, PSS conducted a workshop on fact-based Confederate history. PSS Board participants include Brian Murphy, Taurus Bennett, Facilitator, and Sub-board Member, Lee Murkey.
